>Description:
I have packaged the official D 1.0 compiler, dmd, for FreeBSD ports, including the Phobos standard library.  While most of the source is under either the Artistic or zlib license, the dmd compiler backend requires permission for redistribution:

"The Software is copyrighted and comes with a single user license, and may not be redistributed. If you wish to obtain a redistribution license, please contact Digital Mars."

I contacted the author, Walter Bright, and he said it would be okay to go ahead with including dmd in ports.  I will now ask him what mirroring and CD options are okay and have him respond to this PR with his requirements.
