You can get a binary if you don't want to compile. Binaries are available
for many platforms including FreeBSD.

Port? Hmmm..xfmail was developed on FreeBSD so it does not need any patches
to run on FreeBSD. I, as an author of xfmail , really would like to see it
in the ports collection , but since xforms library is distributed
only in binary form it's kinda difficult to accomplish.

Maybe Satoshi has some ideas about it? :-)
If yes, i would like to maintain xfmail and xforms (if it could be ported)
ports..
