DESCRIPTION
     ifwatchd is used to monitor dynamic interfaces (for example PPP inter-
     faces) for address changes.  Sometimes these interfaces are accompanied
     by a daemon program, which can take care of running any necessary
scripts
     (like pppd(8) or isdnd(8)), but sometimes the interfaces run completely
     autonomously (like pppoe(4)

taken from the manpage.

I we want it I need to port it, otherwise I need to remove the script from
/etc/rc.d
