Yes, see the lib/sysinstall directory.
There are working example scripts, which are able to generate a database,
create sample-packages and install/remove them.
Also included is a now non-working graphical frontend, but it uses the old
API as well.
The other example scripts are command-line utilities, though, and do
therefore work.

No, that was an example for Neil Blakey-Milner, who wanted to write a 
package manager for the current ports-system.
