That is a great idea but getting the dependencies right would be
daunting.  Ports are allowed to use anything in the base system,
even though most of them only use a small fraction of it.

It would also be nice if it were easier to set up jails to share the
read-only parts of the base system since that would make your dependencies
the same as the port's.
