I agree with Dirk.  Ports are of course a good thing, but we need
structure.  Can you make a proposal for how to adjust the directory
structure so as to accommodate these x86 unixes as cleanly/modularly
as possible?  Then we can think about adding the FreeBSD stuff to 
the cvs.  Solaris-x86 is another potential target, btw.
