At the time of writing, there is no vim package available on:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/powerpc/packages-9-stable/Latest/

Only vim-lite is available. I am writing to ask what is the recommended
method for installing vim on a powerpc machine running FreeBSD. It would
seem that waiting for make to download scores of patches sequentially is
almost certainly not the best solution.

Thanks,
dbb
