You can always check out `ports/mail/pine4' from a date before its removal from the ports/ tree and build it on FreeBSD too. If you need help with maintaining a local copy of the relevant ports (`mail/pine4', `mail/pine4-ssl', and `editors/pico') let me know and I'll write a short mini-guide for checking out the ports before their removal and building them as local ports. The source for these ports is no longer maintained, and they may pose a security risk if you use them on multi-user machines --- especially if untrusted users have local shell access --- but if you want to shoot your foot, the Ports tree already provides gun & ammo to do that :-)
