If by sdd you mean Schily's implementation of dd(1), it's readily
available here:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/sdd/

and has a freshmeat page here:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/sdd/?topic_id=3D19%2C138%2C150%2C253%2C861

We've got a package for Schily's tar implementation at
pkgsrc/archivers/star; since his sdd has many of the same speed
enhancements, it would seem reasonable to have it in pkgsrc too.

(Note that I'm not one of those people who'd go for replacing our
now-pax(1)-linked tar(1) with star; it's fast, but it behaves in a
somewhat non-standard way with multi-volume backups. That's fine if
you know what you're getting, but it'd be a big change from either
GNU tar or pax(1), which our user community is used to.)
