Some of the tools are. The syscons changes are the scrshot tool are,
but I would expect to keep shot2{png,gif,txt} in the ports tree, at
least for the time being. If for no other reason than that
shot2{gif,png} will depend on libgd or libpng, or similar.
shot2{png,gif,txt} will just become additional dependencies in the
docproj/ meta-port.
