I'm against misusing the ports collection for "patching" the base os ! Ports live under $(PREFIX), usually /usr/local. Please don't take that into consideration. Ports != Base OS. No exception, ok ?! Another point, if you really need a static vi, why don't you compile a special version yourself and put it into /sbin or /usr/sbin ? Then you don't have to convince the others to built it in as default !
