"You can have as many package sources as you want just by adding them into the PKG_PATH environment variable." This is great! I didn't know this was possible, and it's been one of my biggest complaints about ports on FreeBSD (I don't know if FreeBSD supports something similar now, but it didn't as recently as a few years ago). Apologies for starting the thread off with some misinformation and seemingly incorrect negativity. I have had many, many, very bad experiences with ports, mostly on FreeBSD. I made some assumptions that OpenBSD ports was equivalent to FreeBSD ports. I also based my comments on out-dated information.
