My god! Not at all - the scope of that is way beyond my time or interest
:-)

Its just a straight port of RPM from Linux (via a great FreeBSD port). It
will set up a totally separate package database, etc. etc.

I envision it being useful mainly for learning build/package tricks from
unported packages that have RPMs. I don't think it would be too good to
mix the two things up...
