On the Debian ports side: lacks a browser like firefox or chromium. No
native ocaml compiler. libreoffice is not present.
Not once released in contrast to kFreeBSD.

This does not look like healthy port that will become eventually a
release architecture. To quote the introduction paragraph of ports.d.o:

| architectures until they are integrated in the main Debian archive.
