Can Portage be used as a package manager with anything other than Linux? 

I like some features of Portage; think it might be better than FreeBSD ports or 
NetBSD pkgsrc, or is just a case of the grass being greener on the other side?

I like the option "--with-bdeps=y", wish FreeBSD's synth and poudriere had that 
option.

But I don't want to use Portage where it would be incompatible.

Portage's assumption of location of python binary and /bin/bash are contrary to 
anything non-Linux, or even a Linux that uses another shell such as dash or 
mksh.
