No, there's just no reason. That's like saying that people shouldn't create packages for use with pkg_add unless the ports are in FreeBSD proper. pear.php.net supports alien packages, see the bottom of http://pear.php.net/packages.php > Try to have a look at devel/beautifyphp.

Go to http://pear.php.net/channels/, follow the link to http://pear.horde.org/, and install Horde_VFS using the procedure described there, which is: pear install http://pear.horde.org/Horde_VFS-0.0.1.tgz Where will it be installed (on FreeBSD, with PHP / pear(1) from ports)? > When you install that packages using pear(1) directly it would place > them inside the php_dir (defaults to /usr/lib/php). Well, it's /usr/local/lib/php/pear on this box (php4-pear-4.3.11_1), which means ports-installed pear puts packages in a directory that's not in include_path, and that smells like a bug, but... -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
