Vendor provided binaries are a fun ball of wax to deal with

This sounds trivial, but it requires changes to pkg_add (for
fetching / installing a particular revision of the code, as well as
`slotting' the packages themselves), determining elf-version, ld
modifications, as well as a few other things. It's been implemented at
my work [Ironport] from what I've been told, but 1) I'm not sure how
complete it is, 2) I'm not sure how tested it is, and 3) it hasn't
been reviewed yet and I'm not sure how much would be put back in the
community at large to be honest...
Or you can take the vendor's approach and make a static binary with all
the dependencies (i.e., libraries) compiled in.
