grub2 not in ports?

Hello,

has someone successfully ported GRUB2[1] to FreeBSD/i386
and FreeBSD/amd64? I see no port sysutils/grub2 in the tree,
even though I know that GRUB2 *can* boot FreeBSD directly
and via chain-loading.

And while we're at it, I'm wondering if there is an effort underway
to make the kernel multiboot-compliant... maybe like NetBSD[2]?

Thanks,
