What exactly does your firewall block? anything going out on 80? 21?
There's certain enviroment variable's you can define for firewall
compadibility with FreeBSD, but without knowing your exact firewalling
situation its rather hard to say. The advantage of ports is it gets
everything for you so you dont have to search it out yourself, unlike
RPM's -- worst package managment ever.
