There are at least 2 more ways to get hadoop. Clement has an
redports.org
account and is working on hadoop there. So you could just checkout his
svn tree and get the latest port:
1) just fetch his redports.org repository compressed as tar.bz2:
fetch http://redports.org/~clement/svn.tar.bz2
tar xvf svn.tar.bz2
2) you need devel/subversion installed for that
svn co https://svn.redports.org/clement/
Now you need to manually add the hadoop lines in GIDs/UIDs to your
/usr/ports/GIDs|UIDs files as well as copying over the devel/hadoop
directory to /usr/ports.
