Attempting to "make install" in /usr/ports/x11/xorg, a relatively
clean install of 5.3_p1:

So far my Googling and searches of the mail lists have turned
up little help.  XFree has never been installed, so I'm thinking that
maybe the July note from ports/UPDATING doesn't apply?

If anyone can shed some light, or provide a URI describing the
issue, I'd appreciate it.
