You're thinking of dpkg. apt is an additional layer that maintains databases of available packages, download locations, dependencies etc. I imagine apt could be set up to work with freebsd's binary packages, or possibly even source-based ports stored as .tgz files on multiple servers rather than in a single ports tree. That would be interesting. - Rahul
