Perhaps as bdes is secure/usr.bin/bdes, (so perhaps `real` BSD)
these 2 might not be useful as examples, as just imports ?:

 /usr/sbin/named (9.[23]-RELEASE) 
 src/usr.sbin/named + src/contrib/bind9
 to /usr/ports/dns/bind* (10.0-RELEASE & current)

 9.2-RELEASE/src/ contrib/cvs + gnu/usr.bin/cvs
 11.0-CURRENT/ports/devel/cvs

Cheers,
Julian
