Yes, and also vim and other vi clones. But what is the point of having a secure and integrated OS if you have to pull software from ports (which are not so thoroughly audited and tested as the main OS)?

One point of using BSD is (so the BSD people say) to have an operating system where everything comes from the same team - kernel and userland, unlike Linux where kernel and userland comes from dozens if not hundreds of different origins. But if you start to use arbitrary ports in BSD your OS is not much better than Linux in that regard
