A port of xbill is now available. You can get it from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/games/xbill.tar.gz (source)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/games/xbill-1.1.tgz (binary)
and the corresponding directories on mirror sites.
This is a game in which you play the defender of justice and stop the
evil empire from polluting your computers with a particular defective
piece of software.

P.S. Note that the "source" above is actually the ports skeleton only;
when you extract it on your machine (preferably into
/usr/ports/games) and type "make", it will automatically fetch the
original source and builds the program. Try "make fetch-list" if
you are not IP connected to obtain a list of files you need to
fetch.
