Ady, BTW, after we have the port and, with some test cases provided
by people that run it, can we hope for any kind of (semi-)official
support ?


Not so fast (TM) :-).

1). I am talking about the Oracle XE package for which Oracle does
not offer any commercial support (except for Forum discussions).

2). Usually everything comes down to business cases and business
opportunities. So I think we will need to demonstrate a large
userbase in order to get attention. I think we should be happy if an
Oracle XE FreeBSD package will make it onto the downloads page in the
first place.

Yep, this is what I was thinking about for the beginning at least.
