Now that you mention it, yes.

Examining the port directory and reviewing the typescript from my
"portmaster" run, I see a couple of anomalies:

* portmaster didn't clean the port directory, though that is the default
  behavior, I didn't tell it not to, and it did clear other port
  directories used in the same update run.

  * I don't find an "xpdf" executable in there, either.

* The part of the install that affects libexec/xpdf in my case (note
  that in this case, /usr/local is a symlink to /common/local) looks like:

...

....

I see in the commit log for r305766, there's a note "Don't install
xpdf on libexec when build without X support. [1]", but my xpdf
options are:

g1-227(9.1-P)[18] cat /var/db/ports/xpdf/options 
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# Options for xpdf-3.03_1
_OPTIONS_READ=xpdf-3.03_1
_FILE_COMPLETE_OPTIONS_LIST=LIBPAPER TYPE1 X11
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=LIBPAPER
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=TYPE1
OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=X11
g1-227(9.1-P)[19] 

Color me puzzled, too.

Peace,
david
