Thank you. Is there any quick way to test if sound is working?

What about that ncursesw thing? I think it is NetBSD-specific?

Just like as you did. Can you check if your ports tree is up to date?

The Makefile should have the following line:

# $FreeBSD: head/games/frotz/Makefile 442400 2017-06-02 15:43:42Z sunpoet $

If 442400 is a lower number, the ports tree needs updating, the way
to do it depends on the way you got it (I have used the portsnap method):
