xdm config files overwritten after upgrading Xfree86-clients from ports

Hi lists,

I upgraded Xfree86-clients from ports using portupgrade today and noticed that 
xdm was no longer working afterwards.
After some searching i found that the config files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm had 
been overwritten.

Since i had a similar problem with another port the other day, i want to ask:

- Is this expected behaviour?
- Should i manually inspect my config files after each portupgrade?
- Or is this just a bug in XFree86-clients (and possibly some other ports)?

Luckily, my changes to the config files were only minor, so i did not have to 
restore them from tape :-)

Anyway it's annoying..

Regards,
