A not so minor correction:

fbsd-apt obviously is *not* a port of Debian's apt but a newly created
program instead which is intented to work just like Debian apt.  This
snippet is from "fbsd-apt-0.1/README":

-------------------- snip -------------------
ABOUT: fbsd-apt is based on how apt works for debian.
 but basicaly it is just a front end of pkg_*. If you know anything
 about apt-get on debian , you will love fbsd-apt.

                   Sorry for the confusion, P. *8^)
