FWIW, there is a v3 available at blackdown, which is probably worth trying... (btw--wrt to my previous posts on package management comparisons between freebsd and redhat linux--I've recently moved to debian linux, and the package management there is much, much better. I think they learned a lot from freebsd's system... and there are some things about it which are better).
