Maybe something like this is suitable?

Port:   gai-leds-0.6_6
Path:   /usr/ports/sysutils/gai-leds
Info:   A GAI applet that displays the keyboard status leds

Port:   gkleds2-0.8.2_6
Path:   /usr/ports/sysutils/gkleds2
Info:   GKrellM Leds for CapsLock, NumLock and ScrollLock

But don't look at the dependency lists, they're terrible. :-)
