FYI, gv can also read pdf files.

This port has become cdrtools.

gnupg is a PGP encryption program

You should also probably install the gnupg-idea port for compatibility
with older PGP keys.

Use linux-netscape47-communicator; it's a newer version, and can run
all of the linux plugins out there (e.g. the realplayer port, flash,
etc).

FYI, KDE includes its own versions of several of the utilities you
have on this list.  There are feature differences, but you might want
to check them out.

Here is my 'essential packages' list which go on all of my machines:

cvsup
lftp
lynx
w3m
portupgrade
screen

Other highly useful packages which get installed on most of my
workstation machines:

mtools
dict
wget
linux-realplayer
