dictd server

[simon g]

hello, i was, wondering is the dictd server available so that i may  
use dictionary databases locally,
do i need the server or is the client and databases sufficient. if i  
need to install the server, which doesnt seem to be available in the  
ports, can i just compile it. how would i edit the files to make it  
part of my ports collection, as i want to keep track of my source  
installs using ports.

feel free to edit the grammar if you need to make this post more  
readable.

thanks, simon
