Hi Daniel,

Thanks for working on these ports.

Are there any plans to port opencode to OpenBSD as well? From a 
maintenance perspective, it seems like one of the more useful candidates 
because it supports models from many different providers instead of 
being tied to a single vendor.

My concern is that importing many AI-agent CLIs could become expensive 
to maintain. These tools change very quickly, and in practice ports can 
take a while to catch up when the maintainer does not have direct commit 
access or when updates require repeated reviews.

This is not an objection to the imports you proposed. I just wonder 
whether it would make sense to prioritize one provider-agnostic tool 
like opencode, since that could cover more use cases with less long-term 
maintenance burden.

Best,
David.
