I'm fairly confident that I've suggested this in the past, if I haven't, my apologies. There are several benefits to this, not the least of which is that people who are interested in having this kind of tool will have easy access to it. This will either a) solve the problem, or b) allow the idea to grow on people sufficiently that it eventually gets adopted more widely. You can start with http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html and if you need help of course asking on freebsd-ports@ is your next step.
