freebsd-ports/japanese/kinput2-canna+freewnn/pkg-descr
Satoshi Taoka a77a3c279b (1) {chinese,korean,japanese}/Wnn (Wnn 4.2) was updated as follows:
(a) Its name was changed from Wnn to FreeWnn because Wnn6 which is a
      commercial software exits
  (b) Its license was changed to GPL.
  (c) The method to configure was changed from imake to GNU configure.
  (d) Relatively to the original Wnn, the Wnn in the ports tree were
      modified by me a lot. Most of the modifications were adopted
      into FreeWnn.
  (c) Header and library files are installed into
      ${LOCALBASE}/{lib,include} instead of ${X11BASE}/{lib,include}.

(2) FreeWnn is divided into two ports FreeWnn-lib and FreeWnn-server
in chinese, korean and japanese categories. The former is for libwnn
and header files to compile client commands, and the files used in
client commands.  The latter is for a server to convert KANA to KANJI
(Chinese character), and dictionaries and files used by the server.

Kinput2 is an input server for X11 applications that want Japanese
text input.
A client that wants kana-kanji conversion service for Japanese text
sends a request to kinput2. Kinput2 receives the request, does
kana-kanji conversion, and sends the converted text back to the
client.
The port supports Canna and FreeWnn. Egg key binding is avairable, if
you run
kinput2 -ccdef ccdef.kinput2.egg
