As long as it is software (and you pay attention to licensing issues, so
no GPL'd code tries to get into our kernel - and as little as possible in
the distributed userland) almost anything is possible.

If you're asking whether if you do the work to make it happen, would we
accept that, I'd say probably yes (assuming licensing is BSD compat,
ideally the code sytle is compat, and it works without breaking something
else) and packages from anywhere (which work) tend to be accepted in pkgsrc,
so by all means, go for it.

If you're asking for someone else to make that happen for you, then you'd
need to find someone with the desire to make it happen, or who can be
convinced to have such a desire.
