All the package systems I know so far are portable. I think it is better
to use the native packaging system. For a number of BSD systems that may
be pkgsrc, for many Linux systems that is for instance DEB or RPM.
Mixing different packaging systems is a very bad idea IMHO.

But feel free to help with porting Chicken stuff to *BSD. I mean, the
more systems on which native Chicken packages are available, the merrier.
