AFAIK, Rob Deker <deker@digex.net> has signed up as a NetBSD developer
to work on this, so I suggest that he's the person to work with.

The rest of this discussion has been "had before". The practical thing
to do is to get the FreeBSD ports system to work on NetBSD as is, then
consider enhancing it to satisfy the "oh no, you can't install THERE"
crowd.

I still say: "Just Do It". Swoosh. 8-)
