Ports of various plan9 utilities are now available. You can get them
from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/plan9.tar.gz (source)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/plan9/*.tgz (binary)
and the corresponding directories on mirror sites.
These ports were done by Eric L. Hernes (erich@lodgenet.com).

P.S. Note that the "source" above is actually the ports skeleton only;
when you extract it on your machine (preferably into /usr/ports/)
and type "make", it will automatically fetch the original source
and builds the program. Try "make fetch-list" if you are not IP
connected to obtain a list of files you need to fetch.
