SUIF?  I've been running SUIF1 out-of-the-box on my RELENG_2_2 system for 
quite some time now.  Granted, you don't get shared libraries, but that should 
be a simple Makefile hack.  Since SUIF1 is no longer supported in any way, 
there's no point in trying to get an official patch for FreeBSD shared 
libraries into the distribution.

SUIF2 on the other hand is a horse of a completely different color simply 
because it is so expensive in time and space to compile using g++.  We run it 
here, but if we didn't have the SunPro compiler it would take over a week to 
compile SUIF2 w/ g++-2.8.1 (that's on an 170Mhz Ultra Sparc w/ 512Megs of 
RAM).  Even with SunPro it takes half a day.  Supposedly, the current SUIF2 
alpha release can be compiled w/ the egcs project version of g++ which has 
slightly better template handling than stock g++, but the last time I tried 
compiling SUIF code w/ egcs, the compiler constantly crashed.

Anyone willing to give a try can check out http://suif.stanford.edu for the 
SUIF source.  egcs is of course in the ports tree.
