The problem is that projects have specific needs that other systems don't have. FreeBSD ports are by far the largest and very fast to build. Pkgsrc comes out quarterly so it takes a long time to get patches in or updates as Dragonfly goes through. With MidnightBSD, we wanted all ports to go through fake install so our packages would work all the time and we could write package tools customized for the ports tree.

What you are pointing here: fake DESTDIR, binary packages and building as
unpriviledged, are fairly easy to add to FreeBSD, I'm working on all this.
it is not complicated, but it takes a lot of time, no need to go elsewhere to
get those features, the ports tree is almost able to handle it.
