BTW:

I would settle for being able to select between base
system components that are default (e.g. "bind" and
"sendmail" and "perl", etc.), and those components
from ports (e.g. "djbdns", and "postfix" and "newer
than base version of perl") on an equivalency basis,
but I don't see how you would manage this without the
registration of base system components into the same
configuration management system as the replacements
you are permitted to select from for any given service
or role.
