From what I've heard, the bits missing will be the customized vendor
fscks (as they require vendor source that IBM can't give away) and
tsm (an AIX subsystem that I know nothing about).

Also, I'm told that xdr will be in a separate distribution due to
licensing issues.

The vendor fscks and the AIX stuff are irrelevant to a FreeBSD system, 
and if xdr is still available, then things are fine.
