Has anyone tried out pkgsrc?

I used to use fink but all of the packages I used got very out of date, 
and the newer versions were only in the unstable branch  (latest php or 
postgres) so I switched to DarwinPorts.

Also if DarwinPorts is now MacPorts then why are both 
http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ and http://www.macports.org/ both 
operational?  Shouldn't the darwinports site be removed if it is just 
old stuff?  Or at least it should have a not pointing you to the newer 
macports site?
