Maybe someone could add it to ports. Ideally maintaining upstream on 
github.

My initial thought was we could port the NetBSD version but theirs is 
arguably just as ancient as ours.

On a juxtaposed topic, how would one export an eclectic set of 
directories from svn to git? My last experience doing that was painful 
because there was more than one subdirectory involved and most of the 
doc out there talks about only one.
