I placed in in ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/gdbm-1.7.3.tar.gz.
This was an extremely straightforward port; no work Makefile or code
changes were required. I just had to develop the top-level Makefile
and the package files.
There was only one issue of concern: FreeBSD 2.1 appears to ship with
a /usr/include/ndbm.h. However, a man -k on dbm and ndbm reveals
nothing of interest, and there don't appear to be any dbm libraries.
Does FreeBSD have dbm/ndbm support?
If it doesn't, gdbm provides some compatibility headers and programs
for testing and converting to gdbm. To install these headers by
default, uncomment the appropriate line in the top-level Makefile. The
pkg/PLIST file should then also be updated with:
include/dbm.h
include/ndbm.h
