I have recently tried to compile a software, but a port called libSwiften (on linux) is not available for FreeBSD as Swiften or libSwiften. Is it possible the ports team could perhaps include this software in the ports collection? Would you be willing to have a crack at porting it yourself? I'm a newb myself at this, but it is possible- even if you don't fully understand makefiles :) Otherwise I'd be willing to help, but there are plenty here better qualified to answer any queries about how to do it.
