Actually, I think you've done a fine job ... my *only* beef is arbitrarily 
moving aside of the config files that I've already configured ... if I 
download a horde package, and untar that over top of my existing setup, to 
upgrade, *it* doesn't do it ... and if I use CVS to update from the 
anoncvs server, it doesn't remove my config files ... the FreeBSD port 
shouldn't either ...

IMHO, if you applied the following to get rid of the behaviour, that would 
fix things ... and, IMHO, that is the only thing that *is* broken with the 
port ... I install from ports, for applications like Horde, to make sure 
that all dependencies are in place ...
