Too bad the original source, against which the port was performed, isn't
mirrored somewhere within freebsd.org, at least not that I could find.

Yes, but that's only because ...
remarks: This information has been partially mirrored by APNIC from
remarks: JPNIC. To obtain more specific information, please use the
remarks: JPNIC whois server at whois.nic.ad.jp. (This defaults to
remarks: Japanese output, use the /e switch for English output)
Had they not done so JPNIC itself doesn't appear to provide that detail ...
$ whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp 210.251.138.255/e

According to their "help" using a prefix character of % (percent sign)
is supposed to "Expand the contact fileds or known sub-domains", yet
``whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp %210.251.138.255/e'' yields the same
response.
