Use older port

[Tony Shadwick]

I have two ways of doing it.  I'm not claiming either/or is the 'right' 
way.

1.  Go to another machine running an older version from ports, cd to its 
directory in the ports tree and type 'make package'.  copy the newly 
created tbz to your 5.4 box and run pkg_add on it.  You'll have to do a 
pkg_delete on the old one first.

2.  Use portdowngrade.  You'll have to set the environment variable for 
CVS_RSH=ssh and set CVSROOT according to the anonymous cvs instructions 
from the handbook.  Once you've done this, run portdowngrade on rrdtool, 
and you'll be given a list of older versions to downgrade to.  It takes a 
bit to generate the full list, so be patient.
