Yes.

However, we don't have these on the CD-ROMs then.
Hmm.

What about a SECURITY=	many root exploits in the past

flag. And then, this is a warning for the manual-portbuild, that you
need to approve before it installs further.

The stuff is built/put onto the CD-ROMS anyways, but the same for the
packages: pkg_install asks, if you really want to install this
package.

Opinions?
