I had forgotten about ivtools again - sorry about that.

Bill Fenner worked on updating the port some months ago.  He didn't
finish it but he just send me his work-in-progress which I have been
working in today, but unfortunately quite a lot of things seems to
blow up when building ivtools 1.2.3 on FreeBSD, so it probably be at
least a few days before I get it working (currently some parts doesn't
seem to link against libtiff for some reason).
