sure. i've not dealt with *bsd packaging for a _very_ long time, so have no sense for what's involved these days. but, in my case, that's exactly why, I've set up packaging that tracks upstream's sources; auto-rebuilds on changes. as much as possible, i avoid stale/unmaintained software, even if packaged.
