This is stupid. Why two copies? What if server and client installations get 
out of sync? That couldmake problems very hard to debug, since it is hardly 
really well specified which of bin and sbin that comes first in the path. 
The user will get confused, at best.

It is really a very good argument for just having one port. I see no real 
reason why there should be a separation. Some client binaries are only 
needed when the server is installed, hence they need both. There seems to 
be no clean cut between server and client in the upstream sources 
(client-only and server-only installations share some binaries, e.g.), then 
we should not force such a (non-clean) cut into the FreeBSD ports system 
either.
