Comment in passing:
Please make sure, if at all possible, that you use OSVERSION and not
OSREL for your 4.x system check. It depends on the problem, of course,
but sometimes it's possible to narrow down to which exact FreeBSD version
or commit/revision date broke (or fixed!) whatever relates to your port.
You'll find other ports doing OSVERSION magic (greater-than less-than
comparisons to basically state "it broke as of this date, but got
fixed as of this date"), so you can grep -r OSVERSION /usr/ports and
look at some of those.
Use this as a guide:

Hope this helps!
