Good point.  Ideally, the xpm dependencies should hide in a 
bsd.xfree*.mk file with XF86_VERSION=4 causing the dependency to 
"vanish."

Practically, it still doesn't make a difference (except that the build 
of xpm is redundant).  I've seen no ill effects in nearly two years of 
operation.  Obviously, YMMV.
