Not really. Not without making large changes to the way gnats works.
I'm not against enabling it again, but it'll take a bit of work before
it's safe to open such an easy way to fill the gnats database with
bogus PRs again.

You can always use send-pr(1).

This is not enough information about send-pr(1) or about 'ppp' to help
you. You should provide more details about *everything* that is
relevant to your mta setup and the way send-pr(1) fails before someone
steps up and helps you configure your system correctly for posting mail
(this is all that is needed for send-pr(1) to work).
Besides, you can always use send-pr(1) as a tool that spits out a
template for a new bug-report, which you later edit and post with the
mailer of your choise to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

That's easy to 'fix'. Just install an editor that you like from the
ports and set your EDITOR environment variable correctly.
I'm writing this message in GNU Emacs 21.2.1 which I installed from
the ports. I have set my EDITOR environment variable to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/giorgos$ grep EDITOR .bashrc
export EDITOR="${HOME}/bin/edit"
The 'edit' shell script in my ~/bin sets up locale stuff to let me
write Greek and attempts to fire up a range of editors, terminating
when one of them succeeds:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/giorgos$ more ~/bin/edit
#!/bin/sh
# $RCS: scripts/edit,v 1.2 2002/12/05 23:18:33 keramida Exp $
# First clear off any locale related environment vars.
__junk=""
unset __junk `env | sed -n -E '/^(LANG|LC_[A-Z]+)=.*$/ s/=.*$//p'`
# Then set the preferred locale variables for Greek text.
export LANG="C"
export LC_COLLATE="el_GR.ISO8859-7"
export LC_CTYPE="el_GR.ISO8859-7"
# Finally try to fire up some editing program.
# The first one that works will terminate this script.
test -x /usr/local/bin/emacs && exec /usr/local/bin/emacs "$@"
test -x /usr/bin/emacs && exec /usr/bin/emacs "$@"
test -x /usr/local/bin/vim && exec /usr/local/bin/vim "$@"
test -x /usr/bin/vim && exec /usr/bin/vim "$@"
test -x /usr/bin/vi && exec /usr/bin/vi "$@"
test -x /bin/ed && exec /bin/ed "$@"
# Fail, if we can't exec *any* sort of editing program.
exit 1
To make a long story short, if you don't like vi(1) don't use it.
