We're aiming for giving PC-BSD users a choice of desktop (at least 
that's what my PBI aims to do).  We're not trying to change PC-BSD, just 
leverage what they have already created for people who would like a 
GNOME desktop.

PC-BSD uses the ports collection at this point.  The patch to which he 
referred was pulled into the official hal port.
