Heh! Although CSW packages were not perfect (i.e. never fully System V compliant), going from CSW to Sunfreeware is like going from riding a horse to riding a donkey. I suppose that if one goes in with the mindset of "I'll just run make; make install", one wouldn't care about how badly Sunfreeware stuff is packaged (no dependencies, /usr/local), otherwise, that stuff should never even see the light of day, let alone ever be installed on a production system. Anybody with an insane idea of still "packaging" stuff into /usr/local and not declaring dependencies obviously doesn't fully understand what they are doing. With that written, best of luck with Sunfreeware!
