I agree with you, and I also think that a graphical pkg manager would be more useful to the community. This is a very interesting project for me and I would gladly work on it. I already started writing my draft proposal[1]. I am really motivated in coding for FreeBSD this summer and I hope that someone will be willing to mentor me. pkg is well documented so I believe I will not need too much help.
