Oh wow, it's pretty slick.

 * Beyond that though, what would people like?  Searching ability?  
 * Better xref checking?  (Conceivably it could check all of the build/run
 * dependancies in the INDEX all at once).  Point-and-shoot port build/install?
 * Stale-distfile extermination?  Distfile verification?  Recursive dependancy
 * graphing?

Have you taken a look at /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/tkpkg?  That
was a similar project (that didn't really go very far).

You can also do a "make readmes" from /usr/src and browse the
resulting README.html.
