This might be a good time to bring this up.
Might we create src/opt/ where things we are used to maintaining can be
put?  Nightly the latest src/opt/foo can be checked out and tarred up.

This way everyone can still work on and commit fixes to this software.
Just as happened for the Alpha.  With a tarball sitting outside of the
FreeBSD world, it is hard to be as responsible for the code.

Alternately, I guess we could just have the code live in
/usr/ports/lang/f2c/src/, but I don't know if Satoshi wants /usr/ports
to expand like that.
