If they are 'ports' specificly built for FreeBSD, shouldn't the port maintainer make them install like the originals were? Makes sense to me....
Or maybe the original install/release needs to be changed to install the same as the port. It's a pain having to debug where everything went, change config files, update startup scripts, make symlinks, etc... When if it were Linux a simple RPM install would update it and I'd be done with it.
