apt isn't a packaging format.  You're thinking of dpkg.  apt is an
additional layer that maintains databases of available packages,
download locations, dependencies etc.

I imagine apt could be set up to work with freebsd's binary packages,
or possibly even source-based ports stored as .tgz files on multiple
servers rather than in a single ports tree.  That would be interesting.
