That's something I'm lobbying for. As well as the port maintainer, I'm 
also a member of Skype's closed beta team. I broached that subject 
this summer when I met with Skype senior project people and devs. The 
bottom line is the app is very tightly integrated and won't be an 
easy port. Skype is willing to listen providing we can show them that 
we (including the other BSD's) can show enough actual users to 
justify the dev time on their part. I'm totally open for suggestions 
on how to accomplish that, providing we have a large userbase in the 
first place.
