XFree86-4 port won't build under 5.3

This is the problem:

  broker# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
  broker# make
  ===>  XFree86-4.4.0_1,1 is part of XFree86-4.
  broker#

In other words, it prints this message and exits.  I checked the port at the
ports monitoring system (portsmon.firepipe.net) and this problem isn't listed. 
Does anyone know why this is happening, and what I can do about it?

I know 5.3 installs Xorg by default.  I wanted to try something with XFree86,
so I removed most of Xorg before trying this install.

Thank you,
Rob.
