This seems like it may be a worthwhile port. I contacted them via their webpage mailer and got two prompt responses. The jist of the messages is that they don't have a FreeBSD box to tinker with, but would include a working port at their ftp site if someone would create one. I'm currently tinkering with it, but if there is a lot of interest in it maybe a more experienced/talented "portmeister" would be willing to create a proper port (?). (From the homepage at http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/jx/) "JX is a full-featured application framework and widget library for use with the X Window System. It provides support for all facets of application development, including distributed applications, and aims to combine the best of MacOS and NeXTSTEP. It is built directly on top of Xlib and has been carefully optimized for performance. JX comes with a complete test suite that demonstrates all of the features of the library and a set of tutorial programs that introduce the major concepts, one at a time. This provides a rich source of sample code, both for top level application design and for individual widget classes. It also shows how to extend the functionality of the library by, for example, creating custom tables or menu layouts. JX also includes a complete C++ development environment (Code Crusader). Among other features, this includes a graphical class browser to help you visualize and understand the inheritance relationships between the classes and to search for all the classes that implement a particular function."
