Yes, definitely. Here's a new port with an example config. I went ahead and reduced to a single directory /var/dico for both the index and pidfile, as /var/run/dico isn't actually a default (the default is actually /var/run/dicod.pid, which doesn't work unless the server is started as root). > - there are commented-out rc_bg/rc_reload in dico.rc Removed.
