A port of xgalaga is now available. You can get it from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/games/xgalaga.tar.gz (source)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages/games/xgalaga-1.6.tgz (binary)
and the corresponding directories on mirror sites.
This is the X version of the famous "Galaga" video game. Note the
version in the package is compiled to use the sound driver (/dev/dsp)
by default, and it doesn't handle the case of *not* having that device
very well. If you (like me) don't have a sound card, you have to
compile it by yourself by typing "make nosound" in the port directory.

P.S. Note that the "source" above is actually the ports skeleton only;
when you extract it on your machine (preferably into
/usr/ports/games) 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.
