For those adventurous enough, fetch the port from https://people.freebsd.org
/~cy/nut-devel.tar.xz. I haven't tested it yet and probably won't until 
next week or later. I'm putting in a lot of long hours at $JOB and may not 
reply quickly.

Let me know how well it works. It will be committed after a period of 
community testing.
