Hylafax on FreeBSD 5.4x (upgrading from 4.11)

I am getting ready to wipe a FreeBSD 4.11x box clean and
reinstall with 5.4x.

One of the tasks this machine does is Hylafax. In looking
at the Hylafax port Makefile I see that the uucp user is
needed for install, but do not see where the uucp port is
brought in as a dependency.

Do I need to install the uucp port first before Hylafax?
or can Hylafax operate in fax receive mode without needing
uucp installed (external 56k serial Fax/Modem) and a
manually added uucp user.

Thanks,

Stephen Hilton
