In the source RPM, there is the script they use to generate the tar 
file.  There are also a few patches in the RPM separate from the tar 
file.  It looked like the tar file is missing a few pieces of libraries 
distributed separately.  We probably already have (some of) them in the 
ports tree.  I only glanced at the file; I did not inhale.  :)
