I'm basically interested in doing a 'make World' in the tree.  With VNC, in
order to build the vncserver (Xvnc for all practical purposes), you
actually build the darn thing in the X source tree.  Building X is not my
favorite waste of time, so I thought I'd leverage the work already done in
the ports system.  So, I created a link tree so all the patches and goodies
applied would be seen when I built this thing.  However, finding out even
what the heck the top-level build command is in the ports system is not as
easy as one would think.  And yes, I have gone to the webpage to see how a
port is made.
