Nice.
I'll port prboomx for those who want an activelly developed
source-port/doom-engine closer to the original prboom-plus.

For those with prboom-plus installed, how would a pkg_add -u work?
Should it install one of those two ports instead (games/dsda-doom or
games/prboomx)?

Also, i forgot to answer this:

Nope, last release of prboom was in 2008.
It's mostly a historical piece of software whose source code has more
interest than its compiled binaries.
I am impressed we still maintain its port.
