From
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/sysutils/aaccli
Sources for ports/sysutils/aaccli
Sorry, did not find the sources for ports/sysutils/aaccli
No source!
Let's look closer
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/aaccli/Makefile
MASTER_SITES= http://download.adaptec.com/raid/ccu/freebsd/
DISTNAME= 5400s_fbsd_cli_v10
EXTRACT_SUFX= .zip
...
RESTRICTED= "May not be redistributed in binary form"
NO_CDROM= yes
So there is a file somewhere that is a .zip file. It may not be put
onto the official FreeBSD CDs (so obviously not OpenBSD CDs either)
That's not really free is it.
Let's look closer

% file bin/aaccli
bin/aaccli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, for FreeBSD 4.4, statically linked, not stripped
That's a binary. Where is the source?
Why do you keep talking about some Management binary?
