The latest commit to the port has fixed the problem for me!

I should mention that I applied the newest "uncommited 
kernel patch" on top of the previous one.  The strange thing is
that there was only one file patched in shm-freebsd4-20031105.diff
(sysv_shm.c) but there were 3 patched when I used
shm-freebsd4-20031003.diff (linux_ipc.c & sysv_shm.c.orig &
sysproto.h).  Was this an omission?  Thinking this was so I applied
over the top of the old one and then had to tweak sysv_shm.c
when one of the three chunks didn't apply.

That asside, the port is working *perfectly* for me now under
4.9-RELEASE; this is one happy camper!
