In that spirit, I have made ports for these applications. I will not push for inclusion, I am merely showing my own work. If that can make the life of others simpler, I'm happy. Keep in mind that these ports where developed and tested on 4.3, not current. (I do this all the time, but usually keep up with changes announced on ports@ and test with current if I am pushing for inclusion). Note that all paths have been normalized for these ports except for the qmail one which will install in /var/qmail like something compiled from source. Also, the qmail users and groups should be created automatically with ids between 5000 and 5007. If want other ids, you will have to edit the makefile and the packing list (both of them). If you have any suggestions for improvements, I'll take them.
