The primary reason why there is no pine package is due to the license:
http://www.washington.edu/pine/faq/legal.html#10.1
alpine is licenced under the Apache license:
http://www.washington.edu/alpine/
  http://www.washington.edu/alpine/overview/legal.html
   http://www.washington.edu/alpine/overview/story.html

I also used to use Pine; Alpine appears to be very similar so you might
want to at least give it a try.
