Unfortunately it's incompatible with some changes in Adaptec's latest drivers, needed for supporting their recent cards. It is also unmaintained and no longer being supported by Adaptec, and also is a Linux binary. The sysutils/arcconf port provides Adaptec's replacement tool (arcconf) which is a native FreeBSD binary available in i386 and amd64 versions. How do we go about marking sysutils/aaccli deprecated and have it point people at arcconf instead? -Ed
