Unfortunately there is no fix.  The version of emerald for c-f will not
work with beryl.  Emerald should be removed as a dependency of the beryl
port, and users will just have to stick with aquamarine and heliodor
(assuming they're even available...  I'm not in FreeBSD at the moment to
confirm this).
