I do know some lunatic has created a perl script to turn Debian's package management infrastructure into a ports tree, but I imagine that would be somewhat unwieldy.
Thanks Thom. Love you too :P
It's a damn cool idea though - I love the ports tree system, if only keeping it up to date was a bit less hacky. Time for some perl magic and the freshmeat DB?
It might be a better idea to either extend fmports to use configure more intelligently or build something that only lists autoconf'd packages?
