FreeBSD Port: nxserver-1.4.0

Hello,

I'm trying to work out how to make nxserver build for amd64 as I don't 
have a working solution of any kind (either tightvnc or vnc also being 
i386-only).

I have been messing around trying to get it to build, and got past the 
-fPIC issue with a couple of patches.  However once it compiled, it did 
*not* create libX11.so, it only produced libX11.a

I've  not managed to work out why this is yet; the Makefile generated in 
lib/X11 is not sufficiently different from that in i386 to be the issue, 
I perhaps need to diff the entire tree of generate Makefiles so I can 
see if there is a difference that's relevant.  I'm unfamiliar with the 
xfree86 build system so that is not helping me.

Do you have any ideas about what might be the best approach to making 
this work?  I'd really like to get it working.

Thanks,

Simon
