security/p5-GSSAPI on FreeBSD 4.x

Dear port maintainers,

There is a little problem with the recently committed security/p5-GSSAPI port
on machines running FreeBSD 4.x.  By default those machines won't have
Kerberos 5 installed, so the p5-GSSAPI compile fails at the 'perl Makefile.PL'
stage.

I've found two solutions that will enable p5-GSSAPI to install, and that
work at least well enough to let me get p5-Mail-SpamAssassin working.
The first is simply to install the security/krb5 port.  The second is to
define MAKE_KERBEROS5=yes in /etc/make.conf and do a {build,install}world
cycle.

I suggest something like this in the port Makefile:

happy-idiot-talk:...ports/security/p5-GSSAPI:% diff -u Makefile.orig Makefile
--- Makefile.orig       Tue Mar 28 10:57:33 2006
+++ Makefile    Sat Apr  1 20:21:54 2006
@@ -24,6 +24,10 @@
 
 .include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
 
+.if ${OSVERSION} < 500000
+LIB_DEPENDS+=  gssapi:${PORTSDIR}/security/krb5
+.endif
+
 .if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 500600
 IGNORE=                requires perl 5.6.0 or later. Install lang/perl5.8 and try again
 .endif

which should deal fairly neatly with either of the ways you can install
Kerberos5 stuff on 4.x

	Cheers,

	Matthew
