FYI:
http://www.minix3.org ->
http://wiki.minix3.org/en/UsersGuide/InstallingBinaryPackages ->
http://pkgin.net/
"
pkgin is known to work and have been tested under the following platforms :
    * NetBSD 4.0
    * NetBSD 5.{0,1}
    * NetBSD current
    * DragonFly BSD 2.0 to 2.8
    * DragonFly BSD current
    * Solaris 10/SunOS 5.10
    * Opensolaris/SunOS 5.11
    * Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
    * Mac OS X 10.{5,6}
    * MINIX 3.1.8
"

No /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/ports-mgmt/pkgin .
I'm not familiar with pkgin, but nice to see OS co-operation.

Cheers,
Julian
