I'm not speaking for "core" but LPRng is already in the ports section of
FreeBSD and has been for a while.

# New ports collection makefile for:    LPRng
# Version required:     3.3.3
# Date created:         2 Apr 1997
# Whom:                 desmo@bandwidth.org

As you see it is an old one nd it will have to be upgraded. I've Cc:'ed the
maintainer (Hi desmo!).

Nice!
