On further investigation:

+ One problem was caused by my specifying
`lib/X11/doc/html/xmailwatcher.1.html' in pkg-plist. This isn't of
course needed when XFREE86_HTML_MAN = yes, which is the case when
XFREE86_VERSION != 3. This one was my fault !

+ The other problem, the error message on make deinstall of:

===>  Deinstalling for xmailwatcher-1.6
pkg_delete: couldn't open dependency file `/var/db/pkg/XFree86-libraries-4.0.1_2/+REQUIRED_BY'

is caused by my having built XFree86-4 from the port
x11/XFree86-4. This installs version 4.0.2. However, the LIB_DEPENDS
variable in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk is augmented with
x11/XFree86-4-libraries which is based on version 4.0.1. The upshot of
this is you get the above error message ( if you've not installed
x11/XFree86-4-libraries ). I think the solution is to either
synchronise x11/XFree86-4 and its constituent ports, ( perhaps making
it a meta port ), or alter the line in bsd.port.mk.

Cheers, Harry
