Make port building whole bunch more stupid:

1) Bundle ports in the tree itself, instead of global shared banch.
2) Copy the local ports just in the /usr/ports tree to allow playing around

with just the ordenary tools.

1MaraDNS is a package that implements the Domain Name Service (DNS), an
2essential internet service. MaraDNS has the following advantages:
3
4o Secure. MaraDNS has a security history as good as or better than any other DNS
5 server. For example, MaraDNS has always randomized, using a secure random
6 number generator, the Query ID and source port of DNS queries; and was never
7 vulnerable to the "new" cache poisoning attack.
8
9o Supported. MaraDNS has a long history of being maintained and updated.
10 Actively developed since 2001, MaraDNS continues to be fully supported: The
11 most recent release was done on August 4, 2009. Deadwood, the code that will
12 become part of MaraDNS 2.0, is frequently updated.
13
14o Easy to use. A basic recursive configuration needs only a single three-line
15 configuration file. A basic authoritative configuration needs only a four-line
16 configuration file and a one-line zone file. MaraDNS is fully documented, with
17 both easy-to-follow tutorials and a complete and up-to-date reference manual.
18
19o Small. MaraDNS is well suited for embedded applications and other environments
20 where the server must use the absolute minimum number of resources possible.
21 MaraDNS' binary is smaller than that of any other currently maintained
22 recursive DNS server.
