This is a meta-port, meaning that it just depends on its subparts of the 
port.
It won't build and install all the parts until you have typed make install
This port does not ensure things are upgraded; use portupgrade if you 
want to
upgrade XFree86.  If you simply type 'make install' it may use over 2GB 
to build
all of the subports.  You can install the ports singly if you are low on 
space.

 >> No MD5 checksum file.
===>  Patching for XFree86-4.3.0,1
===>   XFree86-4.3.0,1 depends on shared library: X11.6 - found
===>  Configuring for XFree86-4.3.0,1
