Sure.. there are two separate things going on.

When FreeBSD switched from LKM -> KLD, the skip port broke (in -current)
and was subsequently fixed by me. That was 6 months ago or so.

More recently (in the past couple of weeks) the skip port was broken
again (again, in -current only) due to the changes to the dev_t stuff.

So as it stands now, it is broken for -current. However, it will
work for 3.2 *but* you of course must get the right version of the port.
Or you can get the head version and uncomment the BROKEN= line.

That's the information I have :-)
