Thanks Bob. Everything worked so far except for one error:
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of www/opera
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
I'm not certain of how to do either of those things. How do I delete
the old ver completely and/or ste the variable to force pkg register?
