Why two copies? What if server and client installations get out of sync? That couldmake problems very hard to debug, since it is hardly really well specified which of bin and sbin that comes first in the path. The user will get confused, at best. It is really a very good argument for just having one port. I see no real reason why there should be a separation. Some client binaries are only needed when the server is installed, hence they need both. There seems to be no clean cut between server and client in the upstream sources (client-only and server-only installations share some binaries, e.g.), then we should not force such a (non-clean) cut into the FreeBSD ports system either.
