Hence the and/or in my sentence. Sorry, should have been clearer. The
first thing I did after making the changes was to rip all traces of GNOME
out of my crashbox, load up a clean 4-STABLE bindist in a chroot'd
environment, and installed xscreensaver. No GNOME was brought in.

Something along the lines of (ignore the whitespace, Entourage is playing
silly bastards with me today):
pre-fetch:
.if (exists(${X11BASE}/bin/xscreensaver) && defined(HAVE_GNOME))
@${ECHO_CMD} "You got an xscreensaver binary already installed, probably"
@${ECHO_CMD} "a non-GNOME version. Please delete that package first."
@${ECHO_CMD} "Hit ctrl-C now, or forever hold thy peace :)"
.endif
Changing the text to something more appropriate is left as an exercise to
the port maintainer, but I'll wait until I get it before committing :)
