I've had a look at the pkgsrc repository on the cvs server, and can find no
occurrences of the word "ice" in any package name except for icewm and
icewm-gnome, both versions of a window-manager, in the x11 category. It
looks like any package which was made last year was an unofficial one.

Having said that, icecast looks like it would be a really nice addition to
the packages collection. We're currently in a freeze on new functionality in
pkgsrc, due to the upcoming 1.5 release, but as soon as that's over, we'll
look into it.
