I just downloaded and installed Interchange 5.0 on my 4.9-STABLE box.

The configure script pretty much just worked.  I've had it running using the 
built-in db and PostgresQL 7.3.4 in 2 different installs.  Handling the 
origins of the bsdpan files might be a bit tricky.  I'm going to dive into 
the porter's handbook and see if I might giving porting Interchange a go.

It is nice sofvtware.
