Unlike older versions of FreeBSD, sysinstall in FreeBSD 4.6 will install XFree86 as a set of several normal binary package (thus making the proper additions to /var/db/pkg). Package dependencies will be fulfilled as with any other package installation, and you can run the usual pkg_version/ pkg_info/portupgrade programs on it or its components. In other words, it should just Do The Right Thing (TM) in this regard. (FYI, 4.6-RELEASE will also use XFree86 4.2.0 by default, instead of 3.3.6.) Bruce.
