 If you know how to do that, I did not. I am guessing, you remove the
 pureftpd Portfile, and it would more or less do nothing, other than tell
 you to go install something else?  I am fine with that.  I believe it will
 be very important that any activated pureftpd ports be backed up,
 deactivated and then pure-ftpd put in place.

 It would probably be worse to not change the name, as an upgrade would
 then be easily possible, leaving a good deal of mess behind.  Much like I
 believe what will make moving Apache2 to a more appropriate location is
 going to be challenging, this is similar.  The name change in this case,
 makes it easier.
