Thanks for doing that, Edwin. Hopefully the maintainer will reply soon.

I also suggest that the pkg-descr be updated to include the following:

FreeBSD 5 ships with bzip2 in the base system, but it is trimmed such that it 
includes only libbz2 plus the binaries for bzip2, bunzip2, bzcat, and 
bzip2recover. However, /usr/bin/bzgrep is a link to zgrep, which supports .bz2 
files. FreeBSD 5 does not include the shell script version of bzgrep or the 
scripts for bzdiff and bzmore.

FreeBSD 4 does not ship with bzip2 in the base system at all.

This port installs the entire bzip2 package, including libbz2, the binaries 
for bzip2, bunzip2, bzcat/bz2cat, and bzip2recover, and the shell scripts for 
bzgrep, bzegrep, bzfgrep, bzdiff, and bzmore.
