>Description:
If XFree86 is not already installed, XF86Setup utility won't build by
default. During the configuration part of make, if TK is not found on 
system, configuration will just send a message, and continue building
without it. In order to build TK, however, the Xlibs must be installed
(e.g. X-windows must already have been built).
So, effectively, you have to install X-windows twice to get the graphical
configuration utility to install. This is a usability problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
install minimal base distribution from packages.
install cvsup from packages and update sources.
make world.
install XFree86 from ports
(you'll see that it skips grpahical setup build)
>Fix:
install minimal base distribution from packages.
install cvsup from packages and update sources.
make world.
install XFree86 from ports
install something like tkman, which picks up all TK dependencies
deinstall XFree86
install XFree86 with FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=YES
