I have the following:
linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_7  =  up-to-date with port
linux-atk-1.8.0_2           =  up-to-date with port
linux-expat-1.95.7_1        =  up-to-date with port
linux-fontconfig-2.2.3_4    =  up-to-date with port
linux-glib2-2.4.8_2         =  up-to-date with port
linux-gtk2-2.4.14_4         =  up-to-date with port
linux-jpeg-6b.33_1          =  up-to-date with port
linux-openmotif-2.2.4_2     =  up-to-date with port
linux-pango-1.6.0_2         =  up-to-date with port
linux-png-1.2.8_1           =  up-to-date with port
linux-sdl-1.2.5_2           =  up-to-date with port
linux-tiff-3.6.1_6          =  up-to-date with port
linux_base-8-8.0_15         =  up-to-date with port
linux_dri-4.4.0             =  up-to-date with port

Google earth works fine, but with no hardware acceleration.  Can you 
provide any tips (or links) on getting hardware acceleration running? 
Or am I running the wrong setup.

Thanks.
