All ports package/install fine with correct distinfo and PLIST. The collection looks good. With new textproc/goldendict (on ports@), you can add /usr/local/freedict/ and scan for installed dictionaries recursively, if you want to browse them with a GUI rather than the CLI that is net/dictd. Port-wise this looks OK to me, thanks. I'd put a space between variable names and ?= as done before = already, but that's personal taste.
