xfce: missing dependency on xpm

[Albert Kinderman]

Adam:

Obviously xfce is dependent on xpm, or the configure would not have 
failed when looking for it.  The question is why running make in  
/usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce did not automatically make and install xpm.  I 
thought ports were supposed to install all the required dependencies.

I do see that the Makefile includes
USE_XPM=YES

However, looking in bsd.port.mk, all the  occurrences of

.ifdefined {USE_XPM}

appear within .if ${XFREE86_VERSION} ==3

Thus if you have XFree86 4.x, the USE_XPM statement appears never to be 
encountered.

I should note that I do not have X installed, however, on a 5.0 system 
XFree86 4 is the assumed  version in the bsd.port.mk

Could this somehow be the problem?
