I took a look at it. I have no objection to porting this software, but the port itself needs work. It is way too complicated for the poor ports devs who will inevitably have to dig into it in the future. There are 22 patches and 2 new files/, all of which look AI-generated (by which I mean, they are VERBOSE). We package all kinds of bloated crap software, but the ports tree should not contain large diffs of paragraphs of comments just to change "Linux" to "Linux and OpenBSD". This software gets updated often, patches often fail to apply when a port gets updated and need to be manually updated, a lot of chunks of these patches are unnecessary and will lead to a lot of painful review during updates, over and over. The unveil code looks wrong. If I read the Rust right (I don't know Rust) it intentionally avoids readonly unveil of / (an accepted pattern) in favor of many separate unveils for /bin /sbin /usr and so on (a bad pattern, because each individual unveil costs system resources). The pledge contains inet and exec and rpath wpath cpath. If a process can't have a narrower promise, it usually is a sign that it's fighting against pledge. Why not just run this software as an unprivileged user and let unix permissions do the work? The "memeic" flavor is apparently for experimentation and uses your personal fork... does this flavor really need to be in the ports tree? The port is already so complicated, the flavor adds PATCH_LIST which I have literally never seen in a port before in 15 years... Adds a weird build knob for GROK_LOW_MEM, surely this is not necessary. Makefile is 215 lines long, verbose verbose verbose. Please, simplify this port.
