Thanks Matthew 
i will wait for the next version of portsman :-(
but i have a question before that i read your mail i foun in internet
this http://www.meowfishies.com/portsman.rhtml this seems to be the same 
but with gtk and it is not in the port tree ..... are they different ? it's a 
greater version that it is not in the ports tree? 
HAVE FREEBSD TEAM THE INTENTION OF INTRODUCE A OFFICIAL PACKAGE MANAGER "FRONT 
END TO  THE PORTS TREE"?
