(sorry)

You might want to experiment with checking out a ports tree as of tag
RELEASE_4_EOL and trying to pull in newer pieces from there.  But
basically, you're trying to piece together modern ports with something
that was released 01/25/2005 and went EOL on 01/31/2007 (coming up on
3 years ago).
