I hadn't noticed that--when I glanced at
<URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/fixes/fontfile.diff>, which
addresses these bugs, it looked like the problem was in the X libraries,
not the server.

Anyway, keeping the old PORTVERSION would have been unwieldy:  I would
have had to use MASTER_SITE_LOCAL.
