I really don't know -- this was my first port.  All I know is that I
submitted the port as per the guidelines in the FreeBSD handbook.

It looks like hylafax3, xpaint-2.1.1 and netpbm-94.3.1 depend on
tiff-3.3 (to name a few).  So it looks like a separate libtiff3.4
would be necessary. 

Also, I found a little mistake I made with the port which basically
renders the tools useless.  I have fixed the port, changed the
directory name from tiff to tiff34, uploaded it to 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/tiff34.tar.gz, and used
send-pr (just like it says to do in the handbook).  I also sent a copy
of the diff which adds DSO (shared library) support for FreeBSD to Sam
Leffler; hopefully we'll have DSO support for FreeBSD built into the
next release of libtiff.

I just hope I did everything right!
