Is there some reason why the XFree86-4-Server port does not use @option extract-in-place? Since there is no require file or pre-install script I see no reason why it could not extract in place. I bring this up because my systems all have small /var/tmp directories. The first time I tried to install this package the installation failed with a message about needing 400,000 <somethings> (unspecified; sectors? 1K blocks?) in /var/tmp. It would be nice not to need a large /var/tmp (or other temporary directory) for no good reason.
