That's a shame, that's the first I'd heard about that. I had been
thinking about writing OpenBSD and pkgsrc ports.

Unfortunately not - the BSDs have diverged in quite a few ways so you

I've got an OpenBSD amd64 virtual machine already, so I'll test it out.
I can give you a shell on it if you need it.
