Heh.. This is open source software.. NIH abounds ;)
Seriously though a lot of people write a piece of software that has
overlapping (or even identical) functionality for a variety of reasons,
eg licensing, portability, ignorance etc.
I use avrdude but that's because it's what I first found and it's in the
FreeBSD ports tree ready to go.

I think it'd be worth a quick try - it should just be a matter of..
wget
ftp://ftp.se.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/bsd/avrdude-4.4.0.20050211.tar.gz
tar zxvf avrdude-4.4.0.20050211.tar.gz
cd avrdude-4.4.0.20050211.tar.gz
./configure
make
sudo make install
I just tried this on a friend's Gentoo box (except the installation) and it
appears to have worked just fine (certainly the binary built OK).
