I'll bet I'm the first on my block with these!

I do have a few questions, though. +CONTENTS lists the following as
dependancies, and I want to know if:
    XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5: I have XF86 4.2; is 4.3 really required?
    libiconv-1.9.1_1: Will 1.8_2 suffice?
    gettext-0.11.5_1: Will 0.10.35_1 suffice?
I don't mind doctoring up +CONTENTS to allow the ports I already have, if
I know they'll work. This is an aged and EOL'd system, and I'm getting
leery of updating installed ports, for fear of breakage.

I'm running 4.5-REL-p24.10 (the ".10" are SAs I've applied since 4.5 was
EOL'd). Will these packages run under FreeBSD 4.5?

And finally, how to install these? Just run 'pkg_add diablo-jre-1.3.1.0'
and 'pkg_add diablo-jdk-1.3.1.0', like any other package?

TIA,
Dave
