netpgp requires serious auditing before it should be considered even
for ports. The code is full of buffer overflows and double frees.
(Interesting note: upstream never noticed them, because although they're
a problem on any system, they only crash on OpenBSD due to our strict
memory checks. Proactive security made these bugs visible immediately.)

If anyone's interested in working on it, there is a port in progress
in the openbsd-wip ports repo...
