Note that there are tests that use routed :(

tests/sys/netinet/carp.sh

Would there be any value into turning routed into a port? I don't use routed though I did in a different lifetime on a different O/S (Tru64).

there is already a net/freebsd-routed package, maintained by one "cy@FreeBSD.org" :-) this is mentioned in the UPDATING entry in this diff.
