It seems like a useful idea to me. It was useful while it lasted, but building and maintaining packages for a couple of FreeBSD branches/platforms and hosting them required more resources than we were able to sustain. We may at some point be able to provide packages again, but they will most probably not be hosted on fruitsalad.org. That said, the packages built and provided by FreeBSD are and were the preferred choice anyway - even though you might wait a week or two for them to become available (which will save you however from possible recompilations and re-recompilations as early adopters discover bugs and ports get fixed).
