No, I had not.  Thanks for the tip.

They have a number of build depends as well as run depends.  My problem is that 
I already have Xorg 7.3 installed, so the software builds fine without 
requiring anything additional, and there's no documentation (that I can find) 
that tells you what software is required to build the package.  But it looks 
like I should add those build and run depends to the Makefile for the port, 
right?

Also, I just discovered that only one of the kernel modules builds correctly. 
The other three fail.  This is looking more complex than my meager skills can 
solve.
