I don't think so. I tried using `/usr/bin/ctags' but being able to do my work with Emacs' support for tags didn't search for other vim-compatible tagging tools. I see now that Exuberant Ctags is available as the devel/ctags port. Perhaps it would be nice to try it out one of these days. Apparently it doesn't even conflict with the /usr/local/bin/ctags executable that comes with Emacs (it's installed as exctags in the same directory). Coolness!
