At some point I imagine that bsdiff and portsnap packages will cease to be
available for FreeBSD 5.4 users.  That said, I don't think this will happen
any time soon -- even if there are no longer packages for 5.4-STABLE, there
should be packages for 5.4-RELEASE for a while yet.

In any case, since `make all` takes under five seconds for each of these,
I don't think the lack of packages will matter very much.
