However, the collection of ports we have in MacPorts is meant for OS X and many of them won't be installable on non-OS X operating systems. So if your intention in installing MacPorts on FreeBSD is to install our ports on FreeBSD, you're likely to be disappointed.

Also, MacPorts owes its name and overall approach to ... BSD port, which I think exists in FreeBSD ...
