[edit] Os and package management(extended,not just the package management) official ports

i don't know well pkgsrc and netbsd(and bsd in general) so i don't know if it's just a package management or a full environement such as portage is

	sfu	cygwin	solaris	free-BSD	Open BSD	Net BSD	Dragonfly BSD	mac osx	darwin	linux	irix	aix	OSF1	hurd
Gentoo	doesn't work	broken	portage(solaris 9)	"experimental"	work in progress	work in progress	work in progress	portage
Debian				Gnu/KfreeBSD		in developement								Yes
Net Bsd	pkgsrc		pkgsrc(up to solaris 9)	pkgsrc	pkgsrc	-	pkgsrc	pkgsrc	pkgsrc	pkgsrc	pkgsrc	pkgsrc	pkgsrc
Open BSd
Free BSd

[edit] Explanation

[edit] Gentoo

A gentoo port is an other kernel ported to gentoo,that means that all the os is like gentoo(installation,documentation,tools...) but the kernel was changed and the utilities recompiled for this particular kernel

A portage port is a little more than only a package management port,it's well implemented inside the os and permit the use of both system:portage apps and the os apps(the os filesystem is untouched,because portage doesn't use / in theses os but it's own directory that is /something)

The sandbox isn't avaliable inside all OS(linux and mabe mac-os) because it need interaction with the kernel in order to make the ./configure make and make install think that they are acessing a rw filesystem...

[edit] Debian

gnu/KfreeBSD and hurd port are used in production environement and as gentoo it use only another kernel(the bsd one or the hurd) and have adapted all the apps to the new kernel...(not using bsd apps)
