I am gathering a "volunteer" group :) that will try to address this issue proposing patches to all XFree86-4* ports. We hope to: 1) sync all ports with XFree86-4; 2) verify that none of the "small" XFree86-4 ports install bits that should be done by another; 3) verify that the sum of all "small" XFree86-4 ports correspond to the same installation one would achieve from XFree86-4; 4) turn XFree86-4 into a meta port like others in the tree, e.g., kde2; 5) both not screw up so that others will want us dead and get approval from the maintainers; 6) do this before the 20th (we have lifes you know :).
