Thank You, point taken.  'portupgrade kdelibs4' stopped a quarter of the
way through on a fresh ports tree.  The following is a sample of the errors:

I agree that removing /usr/ports when I have a major build issue is a
waste of bandwidth if, the issue is not due to a tainted ports tree.  I
was just referencing an old(?) thread or howto that suggested it.  This
procedure had fixed another build issue with a graphviz dependency in
the past so, I guess I took it to heart.

I appreciate the responses and maybe I should be on PCBSD.  I'm not
running Apache2 or serving a couple hundred clients.  I just wanted to
run with the big dogs.
