I don't think so.  I tried using `/usr/bin/ctags' but being able to do my work
with Emacs' support for tags didn't search for other vim-compatible tagging
tools.  I see now that Exuberant Ctags is available as the devel/ctags port.
Perhaps it would be nice to try it out one of these days.

Apparently it doesn't even conflict with the /usr/local/bin/ctags
executable that comes with Emacs (it's installed as exctags in the same
directory).  Coolness!
