Networkmanager is being packaged as part of the pkg-utopia project[0] on alioth. You can find it packaged in the svn repository[1]. It's currently in the NEW queue, so it'll hopefully enter unstable quite soon. Unfortunately, it's not as integrated as could/should be. Help with that would be greatly appreciated.
