It *would* be nice to have this (and others) in a minimal port if for no 
other reason than to generate the entry in /var/db/pkg so pkg_delete can 
remove it on upgrade. Didn't it install the man pages in 
/usr/local/atalk/man/ or am I thinking of PostgreSQL? (not near my netatalk 
machine).

Another fine reason for a port is that I often consult my FreeBSD 
/usr/ports for useful utilities long before web surfing, even for utilities 
I need on SGI and Sun systems.

Rather than make the port myself, I'd suggest (stealing an idea from EE 
Times) that this is somebody's chance to Become Immortal Immediately, get 
your name on the FreeBSD CDROM. Contribute a port.
