>Description:
At the moment, the source for these programs resides in src/contrib/ncurses/progs. However, they’re being neither built nor installed. I think people should not be forced to install the port just for these small progs. 

There’s been a patch submitted in bin/71801 but not committed. (And I don’t think it’s a valid solution to just point people to the port/package when the sources are already in base, ready to be built without too much effort.)
