yes ncurses is a binary package. On FreeBSD to get a terminfo db, you need the devel part as well.

Scripts use binaries. In *ix it's essential.... scripting gives power to use those binary programs in strange and fabulous ways to do truly interesting things.

Oh.... and tput doesn't have to part of ncurses. It's just that ncurses is a popular package and where it's found on many systems nowadays.

People in general don't seem to care much for terminals anymore... sad, but true.
