The port sysutils/hal fails at the configure stage with these errors:

.........
checking if GLib is version 2.14.0 or newer... yes
checking for BLKID... configure: error: Package requirements (blkid >=3D
2.15) were not met:

Package blkid was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `blkid.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'blkid', required by 'world', not found

I looked all over my computer for any directories called blkid.  The
closest thing I could find was the port misc/e2fsprogs-libblkid.  Should
that be built as a dependency?

Or maybe my problem is that I am still using FreeBSD-8?
