Yes!

I am using NPF on NetBSD6 and would be an early tester of CDE if it goes 
to pkgsrc.

NPF is still developing, but I have learned my workarounds to make it test 
well against nmap and the like.

As far as Oracle Solaris 11/11/11- it seems to have dropped lots of 
drivers for amd64.  I run it headless for now, where graphics were fine 
with OpenSolaris.  I have noticed quite a migration from OpenOffice to 
LibreOffice as well.

Best wishes on this project and also putting it into pkgsrc.

Sincerely,
Darrel
