first questions wit regards to porting and adding BSD support

Hello,

I'm interested in providing our software (GNUnet) and its dependency chain
through ports. As I like to work with Operating Systems and adjust my work
to their expectations:

- Do you prefer to build from ./bootstrap on (which sometimes might
require autotools), or do you have any advice for me how OpenBSD likes
to build packages?
For example, you seem to build curl just as-is, but maybe there is
a more conveniet bsd-prefered way I could integrate into gnurl?
Node has an "BSDmakefile". So what I'm looking here for is advice
or further reading material and opions from people working longer
with ports for a newcomer to ports and building for OpenBSD.

- Your gnutls package in ports states:

# OpenBSD's unbound does not provide libdane
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --disable-libdane

Here the problem is that we will optionally (in other words: we
recommend) require a gnutls build with DANE functionality.

From past conversations in our developer community I know that
GNUnet is not fully functional on OpenBSD. I don't recall the
full list of problems, but could I get advice and feedback here
once I run into these problems?

Thanks
