Yeah there is. I tried compiling the source (via ports of course) but it
seemed to want a whole bunch of tcl/tk junk (I have tcl, tk and tclX
installed), and would not compile.
So I just used the binary distribution provided on their ftp site,
ftp.xfree86.org. Just read the README files and follow the directions and
it should install flawlessly.
