I agree, but then it would be compiled with BDB support which I loathe.
(I have a reason to loathe BDB after using spamprobe with BDB backend
for some time).

(Of course, I always have the option to make my own package, I know
that). 

BTW, does svn allow mirroring the whole FreeBSD repository (like cvsup
in CVS mode), so that I can later checkout any branch from the local
repository?

Sure, but even as a package it would depend on 

expat-2.0.1
neon28-0.28.6
sqlite3-3.6.19
gdbm-1.8.3_3
libiconv-1.13.1
apr-ipv6-gdbm-1.3.8.1.3.9
