We need to define somethings here.

hmmmm. Your the man with the ORA book on porting but I will throw these
ideas out there so I can understand things better.

True FreeBSD Port: Software that has a "port kit" and installs on FreeBSD
cleanly with absolutely no extra effort required by the user or FreeBSD,
Inc.

AnyOld FreeBSD Port: Software that has a "port kit" but the user or
FreeBSD. Inc has to tinker to get it to work right or create the "port
kit".

"Works with" Port: Software that runs under emulation.

Are these the distinctions that you are making?
