It is in the ports collection under textproc. I'll see about getting the style sheets available soon. There are still some rough edges, but things are to the point that they might be generally useful. Look for it by the weekend. For print output, the best support is for RTF which isn't too useful in a non-microsoft world. TeX support is improving. I have not tried the latest and greatest set of JadeTeX macros, but the last version certainly wasn't ready for prime-time. There currently isn't any way to get good plain text output short of using Lynx to dump formatted versions of the HTML files. > I peeked at the SGML and noticed that you used docbook v2.4.1.
