Well, that is exactly the goal of both pkgsrc and portage, isn't it ?
(Both are meant to be portable over /runnable on any OS AND
architecture).

Gentoo Portage has a very BSD-ish philosophy (except for being GPL),
and it has some 1000s of packages more than pkgsrc (on Linux that is)

Nevertheless, being a BSD, pkgsrc is the choice to make (for licensing
reasons and others) and focussing effort on that is a good thing.
