I think I screwed up my X-Windows install and need a hand fixing it. I figured that since the ports collection installs all pre-reqs for you, if I went to /usr/ports/x11/kde3 and ran make, it would put in everything I need...man was I wrong. When I run "startx", I get and error that it can't find xinit, and when I try running "XFree86 -configure", it can't find it. Anyone know how/what I have to install to recover from this? I assume I probably can just run a make on /usr/ports/x11/XFree86, but I don't want to make a bad situation worse.
