Well, "used on FreeBSD" doesn't necessarily imply "in ports". How about Samba? Xterm? Screen? (That last one's a trick -- it can either correctly emulate a VT100 *or* it can be internationalized, but not both, and FF is special to VT100's). The point is that as far as localization goes, our own house is far from in order, really.
