I've been using pkgsrc on my mac desktop, and it is decent;  however  
the upgrade of software is still a PITA.  One benefit would be to have  
a common source/package management across *all* of our desktops and  
servers... but the number of ports in freebsd's collection is still  
way higher than that of pkgsrc, so switching today is not feasible for  
us.
