Now that you mention pdksh, have you tried mksh (in Ports too)?
I've installed it and successfully run moderately large ksh scripts
(like the webrev(1) utility of OpenSolaris), and it is about an order of
magnitude smaller than pdksh here:

I've maintained a port of OpenBSD's pdksh for some time but I've never
committed it. Think of pdksh but still actively maintained.

If you're familiar with pdksh, are you also familiar with ksh93, which
is (I believe) Mr. Korn's own shell? If you are, I would be interessted
in your opinion of the two, any comparisons you might give.
