Indeed, I certainly don't want to do anything questionable... my sole reason for hoping to get access to it was to get it to compile on FreeBSD.
Right now I can't compile CUDA kernels on BSD since I can't run the SDK. I head some things about people doing it via linux emulations, but it really deserves a proper port. If there is any risk at all involved with "me" porting it since I also wish to remain a blender developer, then I'll leave it to someone else to port it.
