I'm wondering what the process is to convert ports to use the new
'config' interface.  For example postfix doesn't appear to save it's
configuration to /var/db/ports.  Is it easy to fix, or does the port
require a restructuring?  Can anyone point me to the relevant
documentation?

Is there a policy in place for how to convert the ports to use this new
interface, or are they being done on an ad-hoc basis?
