I just used a tarball with a static setup. If we fork ports and do this for real, we will need to pare it back aggressively to both save on space/inodes and make maintenance easier. I have worked as a p;rt maintainer for both and FreeBSD ports can use the perl based tool Magus, from MidnightBSD for building software (and because it's perl, it shouldn't be too bad to get tardists going)

Without getting into a diatribe: I would do this, but I'm under a microscope of scrutiny. There is a group of users who I won't say, who aren't here but stalk what I say extensively and spread nasty rumors behind my back. They also try to actively sabotage my development efforts by talking shit to the people who want to collab with me. So I try to get things into semi usable states before I have them out there.

But anyways, I'll salvage it at some point from my system, get it up online and write some documentation on how it works. It'll take a while but feel free to poke me about it. If you're serious, I can handle the port maintenance and some of the porting side of things and well as help with restructuring using various custom hooks, I just need people more experienced with bmake for it.

That's all. I'm out of town right now but I'll be a bit more able to handle it.
