Which doesn't quite do what kpackage does (or at least attempts to) though, 
for instance it cannot install or remove packages. But indeed, for kpackage 
to become actually useful on *BSD, it would need a dedicated (upstream) 
maintainer for the *BSD-pkg functionality (IIRC the code that's currently in 
there was contributed by an OpenBSD user).
