I made a stable branch of the ports tree that won't get major changes without me notifying people. Because of the work of Nick Owens and Jens Staal, theres quite a bit of software in the tree now and is actually pretty useful now. I made a page on my website[1] with some information and a script to install the ports tree if anyone is interested. It does require mercurial though. At some point I'm going to hopefully add the ability to install the tree without mercurial so you can install mercurial with the ports tree. If you find any bugs or want to add a port hit me up or make a bug on bitbucket[2].
