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.
