/usr/sfw is indeed dead. PSARC 2005/185 "Enabling Serendipitous
Discovery" has the obituary.
New software is supposed to go where it naturally goes -- in short,
that's /usr/bin for programs that an ordinary user would invoke from a
command line, /usr/sbin for administrative programs, and /usr/lib for
things that are not invoked directly from the command line but are
instead invoked indirectly through some other program.
