Sooooo...  Advice/recommendation(s)?
e.g. File a pr?  Watch for relevant update(s) in the ports tree?

JFTR I was updating xmlcatmgr, but by the "old fashioned way" ;),
by pkg_delete'ing its dependencies (target port being textproc/docproj),
re-make/installing the various required pieces
and getting "stuck" at dsssl-docbook-modular.
