rpm == redhat package management
I guess you could look into the rpm port, but not sure why you would
want to do that. Do they either have the source available (ususally
tar.gz file) or do either of these ports look like what you are looking
for?

MayaVi is a scientific data visualizer. It is written in Python and uses
the
Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the visualization. An easy to use GUI
using
Tkinter is provided. It is also cross platform and should run on any
platform
where both Python and VTK are available (which is almost any *nix, Mac
OSX or
Windows).

You're best bet for maya back-end is upgrading to 5.3-RELEASE, but 
anyways
You'll want to untar the TGZ files and install ports/archivers/rpm2cpio 
and use the following example
rpm2cpio FILENAME.rpm | cpio -id

Just curious, what version of maya are you trying to run?

I think he's talking about maya, 3D animation and visual software
(which can be used on freebsd in a render cluster)

I think he is probably refering to Maya, by Alias. its a 3D design 
suite. Though I didnt know it had a linux port.

As far as installing it is concerned, if you are to have any luck you it 
you will need to install the linux compatability libraries and rpm of 
course. I suggest you google around to see if anyone has actually 
attempted this before. Hope this helps.
