I have a question to satisfy my curiosity only. A while ago I've seen that a ports \
system was the way to get software on freebsd -- this was on a server my friend \
administers.

Is the port system very similar between freebsd and macports, or are those things \
similar only in name and are really completely separate implementations? For example, \
would a "benign" portfile from MacPorts work with freebsd? Do they use tcl as well?

Cheers, Kuba

PS. Again, this is only to satisfy my curiosity, I'm not a freebsd user, nor do I \
want to start any flamewars about who is better, as that's not the point here. \
