in the graphics/py-glewpy Makefile you can read:

BROKEN=   fails to install
DEPRECATED= Has been broken for more than 6 months
EXPIRATION_DATE=2008-09-19

this means that glewpy is known to be broken and it is scheduled for deletion.

If you try to build glewpy it tells you something about pyrex not generating the
right code. I don't know if that problem actually comes from pyrex or from
glewpy.

Anyway filing PR about this will not change anything, except if they come with a
patch to make it work ;)

As for Frets on Fire, yes it's very unfortunate that it doesn't work on FreeBSD
ATM.
