That package will upgrade your ports subsytem, ie. /usr/share/mk/bsd.port[.subdir].mk, and /etc/mtree/BSD.x11.dist, to the current (required) versions. Or grab those files from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/. In general, we like ports to compile on older releases of FreeBSD, including 2.2.2. If you find one that doesn't and you can fix it so that it does, feel free to send the fix back to the maintainer. You might likely have to upgrade any ports of or using Tcl/Tk to the current version of the port. ie. pkg_delete, and then install it from the new port. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
