We run into the problem of having 4000 fan-made versions of NS for the Source engine, though, when it comes out. With Source, to my knowledge, it's insanely easy to port HL1 mods to the newer engine, even if they'll look exactly the same as before.
I think the dev team might be forced into releasing an official port just to stop this from compromising NS's integrity.
After all, who wants a thousand varied fanmade mods of the same thing?

There are over 17,000* people registered on the NS.org forums and almost all of us have thought of this in some form or another.
*What happened to the 26,000 I saw a while back?

There are no current plans to port NS to any other engine.
