If you are interested or working with Darwinports, the project‘s CVS check in RSS feed might be helpful to you. You could also watch this web page that provides essentially the same information.
Darwinports – like many other open source projects – use CIA to report changes to their subsystem which then get passed along to the #commits IRC channel on the freenode IRC network. You can also configure it to login into a IRC channel of your choice (but only on freenode)
