What is the concern regarding installation? Perhaps if we know that, we can
better help.

I'll start by guessing size of the package and dependencies. The script
itself is about 2300 lines.

What you could try: install, copy /usr/local/bin/sa-update away somewhere else,
delete the package, see if the script still runs. Repeat until you know the
files require to run.

If you report back that it's just a handful of files (out of the ~ 270 files
installed), it might be feasible to create a new port / flavor for just
sa-update.
