Looking at the xlockmore port, I see it has a line like
.if ${XFREE86_VERSION} >= 4

This messes me up a bit, because on one computer I have, 
I originally had XFree86-3.  Then I installed
XFree86-4 from the ports, to try it out.  I decided I
didn't like it, so I did
mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6-4
ln -s /usr/X11R6-3 X11R6
(after earlier having done a mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6-3 before
installing the XFree86-4 port).

Well the trouble is is that now the xlockmore port thinks 
it is working with XFree86-4, and so has compilation errors
because I actually have XFree86-3 installed.

So my question is - how is ${XFREE86_VERSION} calculated?
For example, if I do
cd /usr/var/db/pkg
mv XFree86-4.0.1 xxxx-XFree86-4.0.1
will that fix the problem?

Thanks, Stephen
