However, it's got some older dependency requirements such as: desk# pkg_add -r gaim Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/Latest/gaim.tbz... Done.

What is the easiest way to install gaim (or any program for that matter) when a situation such as this arises? What would have happened if I attemted the install via ports instead?
