Depends on if you want FreeBSD to still work or not ?
Just seems strange to leave it in the "undead" state,
either it's revived again or it's properly buried :-)

If it's just crazy old me, I can patch in here locally.
I'm not a die-hard FreeBSD fan, I just find the whole
Mac lock-in part a bit scary and want to stay portable...

With OpenDarwin gone, it looked like the easiest target.
If you do want the FreeBSD platform, I have some patches
to the dozen or so ports needed to install the RPM port.

PS. You do want to bring this one over, though: (it's a bug)
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12168
Without it, *everything* will link to Foundation framework.
