Fwiw you can get signed ports for FreeBSD via cperciva's Portsnap [1]. It was released in 2005, but it's taken a while for people to find out about it and switch over from the traditional CVSup updating method. I believe pkgng also supports signed updates, although the FreeBSD Wiki page on it says "TODO: Better signing infrastructure (needs a specification from security officer)" [2].

- cperciva 12y agopngng has been signed for a long time now. That TODO list is hopelessly out of date.
