can be adopted, ported or patched to work on OpenSolaris. By just typing 'make
install' in the /usr/ports/subdir_of_needed_software.

I like the idea, but not the use of /usr/ports.  How about /opt/ports?

I have no problems with the idea to have it under /opt, so if you would like to see the ports collection in /opt/ports better, I agree :)
