Jwhat, I actually have a partial FreeBSD ports tree. Still working on it off and on, but I would be interested in it.
Some of the ideas I have are to setup flavors for ports that would allow multiple distribution of packages to be built.
I kept this to myself because I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Bmake is tough. I can't get it to switch from using libfetch/fetch(1) to curl. We need to port some utilities like mtree, checksum commands etc.
It's more user-friendly than pkgsrc, because curses menu for options instead of guessing with mk.conf, and it is better suited for our use cases.
I'm happy to share my hack of it, but it's out of date and won't work well yet. We need a bmake expert to help sort it out.
I don't wanna port libfetch, because it's superfluous. Curl is already portable to IRIX and builds easy.
