The use is allowed for non-commercial, scientific use, and the license is included inside the package. Maybe pkg(8) needs to grow some features to display license restrictions to users. Feel free to submit patches to remove this dependency from other ports and to improve pkg(8), I don't think skipping hundreds of ports is an acceptable option.
