Good to hear you like it, but it's been quite some time since I was 
involved in netatalk in any way...

Are you trying to build netatalk manually? The ports builds just fine 
for me.

If you have a complete set of 4.7 CDs, you should be able to install 
the package using /stand/sysinstall, or install the ports collection, 
and run "cd /usr/ports/net/netatalk && make install && make clean".

If you want to run the latest and greatest version from ports, you can 
update your ports collection with cvsup, which is explained in the 
Handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

If you have specific trouble with the net/netatalk port, you should get 
in touch with it's maintainer (the MAINTAINER= line in the port's 
Makefile), or ask on freebsd-ports at freebsd.org.

HTH,
Stefan
