Ok, I know I'm answering my own post again, but I've found a very good
resource for this kind of info.  Just in case anyone is interested, it's
at http://www.opensourcecms.com/

They have an extensive, if not exhaustive list of CMS webware projects,
and even have an excellent cross project comparison matrix by feature.

I'm probably going to try a few out, since there's only a couple in the
ports.  Among my top candidates are Mambo, geeklog (in ports), drupal
(also in ports), opencms, Etomite, and Magnolia.

If I find one I really really like, that's not in ports, I may try my
hand at submitting and supporting a port.  We'll see.
