I just cvsup'd to 4-stable, currently under the new ports as well,
/usr/ports/x11/Xfree-4 is forbidden (yup I could comment the line out, and
I have, since no one can reach that computer (rarely attached to my
network))

If the port maintainer knows the problem and thus it's marked forbidden,
why not just fix it? Maybe I'm off base here, and thus I apologize.
