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.
