Completely aside from its "quirks," djbdns is wholly unsuitable in the

As soon as you start talking about "with/without $option" you are
talking about a ports install, which is perfectly fine.
Other than that, if whoever actually pushes all the rocks uphill to make
the installer more modular in this regard decides to include djbdns,
more power to them. :)
