If so, please do not call it simply "XFree86 Small correction: not "new" but "additional" names, I mean that old names still present.

Well, everything from ports area assumed to be tuned/configured/patched especially for FreeBSD and goes under original names. But I think nothing wrong happens, if patching fact will be specially mentioned as you want. /usr/ports/Xfree86/pkg/DESCR should be updated according to your proposal. Since Satoshi is our ports master, I pass this issue to him. -- Andrey A.
