sysutils/screen-ncurses port

Would people be open to the idea of a sysutils/screen-ncurses port that 
depends on devel/ncurses instead of ncureses in base? The reason for this 
is there are screen.* terminfo entries in devel/ncurses that don't exist in 
termcap(5). People who want that extra functionality would be advised to 
install the alternative pkg or build the sysutils/screen port with the 
appropriate option.

Or, simply change the default from whatever ncurses is available to always 
install devel/ncurses. People could always select one of the other options. 
Personally, I'm not enamoured with this approach.
