Norm was (recently) added to net/libzmq4 as a transport, and could be used many places where net/openpgm is not suitable or not working. For this to happen we need an easy way to install it. > NORM supports reliable data delivery over IP multicast but also supports unicast > (point-to-point) data transfers. NORM operates on top of the User Datagram Protocol > (UDP) and supports reliability via a NACK-based Automated Repeat Request (ARQ) > that uses packet erasure coding for very efficient group communication. > NORM also provides for automated TCP-friendly congestion control and mechanisms for support end-to-end flow control. Quote: http://zeromq.org/topics:norm-protocol-transport I also have patches available for net/libzmq4 to allow the --with-norm configure flag, but this would obviously require inclusion of net/norm. I am in contact with the software maintainer Brian Adamson <badamson@gmail.com> which was able to quickly provide some FreeBSD fixes to allow a clean port without patches, and am confident that this new port will be maintained for the foreseeable future.

Testbuilds fine, portlint fine after a bit of tweaking.
