Exactly the same.

As Erik (et al) wrote, it will all be pulled in and resolved as 
dependencies if you have a sufficienyly up-to-date ports tree.

Kind of annyoing that it wasn't caught before it was comitted at all, 
but considering the total confusion that reigns right now with two 
different acroread ports it's just what can be expected.

I did a cvsup 30 minutes ago, and then it worked.
