jggimi is right. ports and pkgsrc are the strengths of BSD. You might as well use them. I consider what you have to do on Slackware a weakness. In fact, I've gone through that loop a million times when I used Slackware and it put me off quite a bit.
Win4BSD presents a problem because it's not compatible with the ULE scheduler. You need to revert to the 4BSD scheduler to actually get it to build. It does have some features that are nice like hovering window mode similar to what VirtualBox, Parallels, and VMWare Fusion have implemented as coherence, unity mode, etc.
