Sorry for the slow reply. I've been busy with other things, and currently I'm not in a position to test a new MythTV version. As ex-maintainer of this port, however, I've received a number of notifications from the MythTV developers of build fixes for FreeBSD. Are you aware of them? I can bounce them all to you if you like, or if there's consensus, I can send them to multimedia@. One thing that has been a bone of contention in this port is the handling of deleting the 'mythtv' user when removing the port. I don't believe that the user should disappear just because the port is removed; it's often easier to remove a port and reinstall it rather than upgrade it. I'm told that the correct behaviour is that the user should only be removed if no files under ~mythtv have changed. One of the PRs mentioned here has addressed this issue, but after cursory examination I'm not sure it does it right. In particular, just not creating the user is not a solution.
