The whole "bsdcpan" thing seemed like a hack to me, and I've had problems with it during OS upgrades over the years... Marko, what version of RT are you running? I see that with versions older than 4.0.8 you're supposed to "patch" RT with an included diff to add some functionality. This violates guidelines though, as it will break RT in the eyes of pkg and it won't properly get uninstalled because of a checksum mismatch. I plan on making this port require >4.0.8. I hope that's OK.
