The proper way to report bugs for ports is: - send in a bug report using send-pr (and a fix if you have one) - email the ports maintainer (see the MAINTAINER line in the port's Makefile) with details (and a fix if you have one) You should also consider subscribing to the freebsd-ports mailing list, as it contains lots of discussions relating to ports (bugs, fixes, and cvs updates to ports themselves) which would be helpful in your situation.
