I didn't want to show all the examples .. I need to go eat dinner ...

See:

misc/splitvt
audio/cdparanoia
benchmarks/kttcp
devel/libg++
devel/libgetopt
devel/libscsi
devel/nbitools
devel/unproven-pthreads
games/maelstrom-sdl
sysutils/pcvt-utils
sysutils/psmisc
x11/xdm3d
x11/dtx11session

I am sure there are many others. Some could just be rewritten. With others
a DESCR.NetBSD would be useful.
