Look, seriously, I've talked to the _developers_ of this friggin' software and they've made it more than abundantly plain to me, on multiple occasions, that they are NEVER, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES going to do a port to FreeBSD and the matter is not even open to discussion. The only reason we see a "free UNIX" port of IDs stuff at all is because they happen to be unabashed Linux fanatics there, and they have zero, zip nada interest in a FreeBSD port. If you want Dave Taylor to publically state same in this mailing list before you'll believe it, I'm also fairly sure it could be arranged. He's certainly not been shy about making all of the above clear to me, and pestering them with a letter-bombing campaign would have exactly the opposite effect of what I suspect you'd like to achieve.
