Sure, bound to be. It seems like it would be hard for GHC Central to
answer this question with more than a general guideline, without knowing
a lot about what FreeBSD is up to. The FreeBSD port system lists
"haskell at freebsd.org" as the port maintainer. Who's that? Would that
be a good place to go to coordinate these efforts?
