Not neccessary, see /usr/ports/devel/ffcall, which works fine
with GNUstep.

I've started working on that, but I'm still trying to figure out
a way, how to (more or less) automate the installation of
        - gnustep-make
        - gnustep-objc
        - gnustep-make
in one (or atleast just two) step(s). Right now, "my" port requires
you to install gnustep-make and gnustep-objc, then you need to
re-install gnustep-make again. And you need to run GNUstep.(c)sh by
hand. Guile and Jigs are not used, but dgs-0.5.10, xgps and xdps are.

But as far as I know Thomas Gellekum is already working on a new port.
