I succeeded in getting FuzzyOCR installed on several 6.1 systems
before it appeared in ports, and documented my method here:

http://jamesoff.net/site/projects/freebsd/fuzzyocr-for-spamassassin-on-freebsd/

Note that it will still pull in Xorg for some libraries, but doesn't
actually install X itself (assuming you remember to declare
WITHOUT_X11).

I note that the libungif port still doesn't appear to have the patch
suggested by FuzzyOCR's author to prevent segfaults.

I can vouch for FuzzyOCR's effectiveness, as the image-based spam was
about the only stuff still getting through my SpamAssassin.
