Just for the record i'm not doing it with other software and i don't intend
to.

the main reason i don't like to install phpmyadmin from ports is the
following:
# pwd
/usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin

# make all-depends-list | grep x11
/usr/ports/x11/libXpm
/usr/ports/x11/xextproto
/usr/ports/x11/xproto
/usr/ports/x11/libX11
/usr/ports/x11/libXext
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/libXt
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/libXaw
/usr/ports/x11/bigreqsproto
/usr/ports/x11/xcmiscproto
/usr/ports/x11/xtrans
/usr/ports/x11/kbproto
/usr/ports/x11/inputproto
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/xf86bigfontproto
/usr/ports/x11/libXau
/usr/ports/x11/libXdmcp
/usr/ports/x11/libSM
/usr/ports/x11/printproto
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/libXmu
/usr/ports/x11/libXp
/usr/ports/x11/libICE

I am not that good in FBSD so i'm asking, is there a way to install
phpmyadmin
without installing all the above mentions as depends x11 stuff?
 The above x11 ports install dependecies of their own so you end up with
lots of
x11 stuff you don't need. So that's why i use and like the other method.
thank you for you opinions,
v
