Here's a small hint.  The phpMyAdmin port downloads and installs a
tarball
from the net.  It doesn't compile anything.  It's essentially the
same
process as installing one of the FreeBSD packages.  Except, of
course, you
get access to all of the various knobs and twiddles that let you
make it
work exactly the way you want.

	Cheers,

I really don't understand what you are trying to say with
what you posted above.

I was informing you as the maintainer of record for that port
that here are the things I found wrong with the it in Freebsd 6.0 &
6.1.

I don't see how what you wrote addresses the
fact that the phpMyAdmin port does not allow choose
between php4 / php5  & mysql4 /mysql5, or that the pkg version is
outdated.


What about answering my question about fixing it?

If I was a an overly sensitive British guy I could mis-read what you
wrote
as saying go fork yourself.
