The tun/tap modules are available at: http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net

This might be an interesting candidate for a new port. I feel a bit
out of my depth here, though, installing kexts and all. Also the Makefile
has to convinced about a few things like PREFIX. Anyone?

If we have it, it should probably be integrated with openvpn/openvpn2
to make that usable as a client. (Or is it needed for server side as well?)
