Providing packages for FreeBSD is a waste of effort as FlightGear is
available as a "port" on FreeBSD and I'm convinced they'll upgrade to
2.4.0 soon.
SGI is almost dead as a platform and, well, Sun .... last time I
looked at building FG on Sun there was too little interest in
maintaining platform compatibility with compilers on Unix who don't
support certain GCC'isms. Therefore I'd probably recommend to move
these packages into an "attic" section.

There is a rudimentary X-Plane for the iPhone but I'm uncertain if it's
worth the effort adapting the main sim to such a low-end graphics
system. "Flying" X-Plane on the iPhone starts as a big fun but becomes
pretty boring pretty soon. Anyhow, having a gadget like a remote
instrument panel on these devices might look really cool ;-)
Cheers,
Martin.
