open-ended), it might be possible to simply run "install_amp" with little or
no modification.  Upgrades shouldn't be too much of an issue either.

Of course this less ideal that a true port, but given the realities of
FreePBX and the ports system difficulties perhaps it's more viable.  Just a
suggestion.
