You don't have to port it, the makefile already has entries for
4.3BSD.  The 2.0 release includes support for 4.3BSD header files
(along with SunOS 3, SunOS 4, Alliant, HPUX, UTS and 4.2BSD headers).
It took me a few days to install it on a Tahoe, some VAXen, and some
Suns, but that included filing problem reports.  The problems were
minor, and easily fixed by someone who could manage to get 1.2 working.
