If you build XFree86 from ports, then the patches (in the file
directory) will be applied.  If you build XFree86 from CVS directory,
then the patches for FreeBSD (in the file directory of the
XFree86-4-Server port) won't be applied automatically.

Note also the patches in the file directory of the XFree86-4-Server port
could not be appropriate to the last CVS version of XFree86-4.

It is port maintainer will decide the best patches for XFree86 4.4
(release).
