Y'all just answered yourself :)  Something to look to as soon as
5.4-RELEASE is out the door -- changing stuff required by half the ports
tree a week or so before a freeze is insanely dangerous..

It's an absolute royal pain in the arse.  On those systems where it is
split into seperate items, I simply find myself adding them both in.
The saving of a little bit of space, for the major upheaval in
dependencies elsewhere in the tree, is simply not worth the pain.
