Here's a little something I've been using for years: a command line dictionary client that connects to a variety of public dictionary databases on the net using the RFC 2229 DICT client/server protocol. It's more for definitions than for spelling.
This bit of a port makes the client by default. The -server subpackage is available but would be mostly useless without also creating ports of the various databases. I can do that, if there's any interest. Works for me on i386, but I'm somewhat clueless, so please test or just look at it and advise. Thanks. -- deanna at sdf
