Actually, it looks like the maintainer of the FreeBSD Amanda ports has upgraded them to use the amanda 2.4.3b1 release and renamed them to just "amanda-server" and "amanda-client". You should find that the whole "tapeio" feature set is part of the port, and that the port is very easy to build. If you have updated your ports distribution since December 3 or thereabouts, you should find the Amanda ports in: /usr/ports/misc/amanda-server and /usr/ports/misc/amanda-client The build process will build and install GNU tar and GNU make before building Amanda. There are a few of the "configure" options that may be manipulated, type "make pre-fetch" to see them before making/installing.
