Thanks for getting back to me Michael and clarifying things in regards 
to the differences b/w v2 and v3.

I will be using this nexus server for our internal maven repository 
(with upstream caching) initially, but the ultimate goal is to have this 
server also host our internal NPM and PyPi repositories and upstream caches.

Since I'm doing the setup in a fresh environment I'd be happy to test 
out a manual installation of nexus 3 and file a PR for a new port (if 
the LOE isn't too huge to get it in the ports tree) for you to take a 
look at if that sounds good.

cheers,
