Ports via svn, make fetchindex and make compatibility with NetBSD

I noticed on the DFly site that Dfly was switching from NetBSD pkgsrc to dports, which is a port of FreeBSD ports.

I guess they like FreeBSD ports better than NetBSD pkgsrc.

NetBSD pkgsrc has been ported to many other OSes including some non-Unixoid,
but I don't really want to use pkgsrc for Linux.

DFly is rather incompatible with my system; I tried their live USB including the latest release 3.6.0 amd64 and i386.

So is OpenBSD.
