Hi Jud,
   /etc/make.conf has already been edited to reflect the fact that I'm running
XFree86-4 (I believe the line reads: XFree86_VERSION 4, and its uncommented).

I'll give "/usr/ports/x11/wrapper make deinstall clean && make reinstall clean"
a go ater on and see how it goes.

Thanks for the info.

Stacey
