I wonder if someone could have ported pkgsrc to it, create a POSIXish compatibility shim library (maybe there already is one), and, I wonder how much of the denizens lingering in the pkgsrc would have ported over “for free”.

Congratulations on the new package manager. But despite its name, OpenVMS is still actually not open.
