It is in ports, so I think some people are probably using it.

mcron is Gnu licensed, so it would have a difficult time being
accepted for the base system.  As to cron being an old idea: I do not
think that mcron is really a newer idea, but rather mcron is more of a
new implementation of the same idea.
