Since packages are built from ports, that effort is nil. The only halfway sane reason I can think of not to use packages but ports is being to lazy to upgrade from an old -CURRENT snapshot to a newer one. For the security-conscient, that should not be an issue, because you are always running -CURRENT or -STABLE anyway. -- Gregor Best
