I looked at got in late 2019 - it had the following OpenBSD dependencies:

1. pledge, unveil, recallocarray.
2. imsg (which thankfully already exists in ports as part of libopenbsd).
3. endian.h
4. util.h
5. SIMPLEQ_XXXX

Using the portable version as a base for FreeBSD makes sense to me.

However, Christian did a lot of work to make got run on FreeBSD. Christian
- what's your opinion on this?
