<question id="xfree86-version">
- <para>An X app I am building depends on &xfree86; 3.3.X, but I
- have &xfree86; 4.X installed. What should I do?</para>

You should not use application tags for the term "X" (server), it's not
an application but more a "family". For example you will not write
<application>C compiler</application>, but
<application>gcc</application> is correct.
<answer>
- <para>To tell the port build to link to the &xfree86; 4.X libraries,
- add the following to <filename>/etc/make.conf</filename>, (if you
- do not have this file, create it):</para>
-
- <programlisting>XFREE86_VERSION= 4</programlisting>
+ <para>&os; versions prior 5.3 will use the default &xfree86;
+ 4.X, while latter verions will default to &xorg;.
+ If you want to run different <application>X</application>
Same thing here. <application>&xfree86; </application> and
<application>&xorg;</application> should also be used.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html
may be a good example on "X11 terms tagging."
