I can't speak for everyone here, and I imagine no one can. Someone may
have looked into it, though I haven't.

Then why do so?

Then maybe you can work on it? Creating ports is extremely easy in most
cases, especially when the ports build on a mature framework which works
well on FreeBSD (like Perl, Java, the APR (which is what Apache modules
use), and increasingly, .NET). If you're not sure of how to do
something, there's almost guaranteed to be an example already in the
ports tree.
