Anything else?

ftp-proxy(8) and tftp-proxy(8) would be nice...

... I'm at it.  Could you maybe lend a hand with importing
libevent[1] which is a requirement for ftp-proxy now?  It should make
a good addition to base anyhow - as a convenient (and portable)
interface to kqueue.

Convenient and portable, but buggy as hell - we used it in Varnish to
begin with but had to ditch it due to a combination of design flaws and
bugs.  It also suffers from creeping featuritis - the latest version
includes a DNS resolver and a full HTTP implementation...  it's only a
matter of time before it grows a lisp interpreter and a mail reader.

hmmm ... okay, didn't know that.  But what do you suggest as an
alternative?  I certainly won't reinvent the wheel for the libevent calls
in ftp-proxy.  Importing libevent code private to ftp-proxy seems equally
wrong.  So the alternatives - to me at least - are either importing
libevent or leaveing ftp-proxy in ports.  Pick your poison.

ports.
