What does fixing the Emacs keymaps has to do with building your packages? It is the same on any platform running Emacs. I do not use that crappy editor so I do not know. The same goes for shells.
I use vi most of the time and sometimes ed. Ask me how to customize vi and I will help you. My shell of choice is Korn. What do you want to do with it?

And you can make your own packages without using ports. Usually is
as simple as
1. Downloading source
2. Unzip/tar extract
3. Run ./config
4. make
5. make install
If it doesn't compile patch the source and do it again.
If it is GNU crap you probably need to use gmake instead of make.
So who is preventing you from building your own packages?
