So I've rebuilt everything that I could, but when I get to the ports that  
depend on libutempter, I get an error that they could not be reinstalled  
due to a failure with libutempter  :/

--->  Skipping 'www/opera' (opera-11.60) because a requisite package  
'libutempter-1.1.5_1' (sysutils/libutempter) failed (specify -k to force)
--->  Skipping 'www/opera-linuxplugins' (opera-linuxplugins-11.60) because  
a requisite package 'opera-11.60' (www/opera) failed (specify -k to force)
--->  Skipping 'deskutils/kdeplasma-addons' (kdeplasma-addons-4.7.3)  
because a requisite package 'kdepimlibs-4.7.3' (deskutils/kdepimlibs4)  
failed (specify -k to force)
--->  Skipping 'graphics/libkdcraw-kde4' (libkdcraw-4.7.3) because a  
requisite package 'libutempter-1.1.5_1' (sysutils/libutempter) failed  
(specify -k to force)


I installed misc/compat8x, however it informed my that I'd need to add ""  
to the kernel conf.  When I try to do that, I'm met with this error:

/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/DESKTOPKERN9: unknown option "COMPAT_FREEBSD8"
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src.


Which is weird, because:

[root at desktop src]# uname -r
9.0-STABLE


Meaning I'm certainly running 9.0-STABLE.  So what gives re: that error  
above about "unknown option"?  I even tried to csup source and buildworld  
again, but to no avail -- the error remains.
