Hey ya - thought this may help - i had the same problem with Xfree 3.3.5 When you started the build in the ports, it asks you COMPILE PAM SUPPORT [YES] (or something like that - i can't remember exactly as it was a few weeks ago ) as one of the compilation options - this was at the same time as selecting what servers, etc. to compile This you can say 'NO' to with no ill effects - mine seems to crank over ok now Feel free to flame me if this is no good :) G.
