+A converter from a FreeBSD port to a NetBSD package.
+
+port2pkg tries to convert FreeBSD ports to NetBSD packages. port2pkg
+copies files from portsdir to pkgsrcdir (if it does not exist, the
+pkgsrcdir is created), and tries to adapt the Makefile, patches and
+some files to NetBSD format in pkgsrcdir.
+
+port2pkg /mnt/ports/<category>/foo /usr/pkgsrc/<category>/foo
+
+Before committing a package which has been transformed using this
+utility, please check the results manually.
