There are two reasons that I would not like to do this:

- My long term goal is to make bsnmp more usable on other operating 
systems. I've done this for the daemon itself, the library and the atm 
module. The mibII module is very FreeBSD specific and would require some 
work to split it into OS independent and OS dependent parts and I have 
currently no time to do this. We would also need to split the other 
modules accordingly and for things like snmp_netgraph I even don't know 
what to do, because this is just FreeBSD-only.

- It requires more management work than I can do at the moment. I would 
need to integrate patches from the developers into the bsnmp tree and so 
on. I just feel that this is out of my time contingent for this.

Perhaps the main port (bsnmp) could just be a wrapper that installs the 
other ports depending on the system version? (Just thinking loud - I'm not 
an expert in the ports area.
