I have thought about it a few times, but that was back in the day when 
creating PBI's was quite a chore to create and maintain. A FreeBSD port 
for the Shrew Soft VPN Client already exists, but its horribly outdated ...

I actually just sent an PR to update it to 2.1.7 last week so I hope to 
see it committed soon ...

If I remember correctly, creating a PBI for an existing port became much 
easier at some point. I'm just not sure how hard it would be to handle 
dependencies, especially since 2.1.x uses an antiquated version of Qt. 
The head branch ( 2.2.x ) has newer Qt4 based components which is much 
more common these days.
