I counted just 3596 ports, but well...  still impressive.  :)

OK, I created one.  This is not a particularly great piece
of artwork, but I think it's a good start.  You can download
it from this URL:

http://www.fromme.com/ports.ps.gz

It is a simple black&white ISO-A0-sized poster, you can
preview it with "gv" (from the ports...) and print it on
one of those nifty bubblejet A0 plotters.  :)

BTW, I made it with Gimp, TeX, netpbm (all from the ports,
of course), a small C program and a shell script.

Regards
   Oliver

PS:  ISO-A0 == 83.9611cm × 118.816cm == 33.0556in × 46.7778in
