Well, the only objection is that this doesn't offer much over having a ksh port/package that is marked required by ports that can't live with FreeBSD's sh. On the other hand, it bloats the base system by ~320 KB (statically linked) and since it isn't used by anything in the base system, people will probably object against it.
