So i created another 'channel' (i don't like that word), anyway, 
i retrieve 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?type=new&time=1+week+ago&sektion=all
and build a freebsd_ports.rdf/html out of that page, that would be the
ports added in the last week.

see http://vivien.franken.de/freebsd_ports.(rdf|html)

bye, alex
