Yes, that was my advice in post #6 above. Unfortunately, I can't port this, and my excuse is I lack understanding of both traditional and simplified Chinese characters. But that's only an excuse. The real reason is I have no knowledge of ibus, and I have worked with few of its required dependencies.

Looking at the three key files -- inputmethods/ibus*/Makefile -- for the ports we already have, there are significant differences in the dependency chains and in installation complexities of these ports. Ports are not the application -- they are scaffolding. But that scaffolding defines the environment and the instructions needed to permit 3rd party applications to be compiled, installed, provisioned, and executed.
