Okay, I wasn't sure who that change was made by. Usually FreeBSD (as
I know it) uses the ports tree, or packages created from these
ports. Basically you maintain the port's Makefile, and any patches
and extra stuff you need, and the Makefile fetches and installs the
source. Information on creating a port can be found in the Porter's
Handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/

I've never created a port, only used them, but since sqlgrey source
compiles and installs almost perfectly out-of-the-box, I wouldn't
think it would be too hard to make into a port. I can help you test
it if you like. There are only a couple things in the Makefile that
I need to tweak before installing (one path change and backup the
config file :)).
