It isn't, if it's done right (full install), and the print/freetype2 port is also modified to install into the exact same place. This is not happening, so at the moment, it is a bad thing which will bite a lot of people on the ass come 4.3-RELEASE See previous discussions in -ports, cvs-all, -hackers, probably everywhere for the gory details. And whilst you're on the crusade, kill the main XFree86-4 port and replace it with a metaport, so that all those tiresome messages from pkg_delete go away, and we have a *single* XFree86-4 port. One.
