Ummm, yes please? :-)

I guess the first thing to do is to start a discussion of whether the
overall strategy of a separate bsd directory hierarchy that mirrors the
linux and solaris directory hierarchies is acceptable in terms of merging
the changes in.  If that is approved then we can start posting some
webrevs.  Since the macosx-port is a child of bsd-port and picks up the
bsd-port changes, it would make sense to merge that in, with some checks
to make sure it still compiles on {Free,Net,Open}BSD.

Kelly whats the best list to start that discussion on?
