I'm still a bit confused. So do unofficial ports eventually go into the 
cvs ports tree?  Is the whole ports tree unoffical in the sense that you 
stated above?  Or are there separate unoffical ports?

I have been planning on making a port of a couple of my small projects 
on Sourceforge just to get a feel for the whole ports process and how 
they work.

Thanks
