In particular I wanted to compile without sound support. After I did configure I removed the sound directory from the list of directories to try to compile. I just finished a second ago, literally, and so far so good. I highly prefer to use ports, but XFCE just seems to be moving faster than most porters would feel confortable keeping up. Could you share what you did to upgrade the port. Or are the diffs available somewhere? I want to learn how to help out in the future when one of the ports I use needs updating. I think many times upgrades to ports are simple if one knows where to look. The problem is that I think there is an initial learning curve that is a bit steep if one has never worked with ports and make files.
