Why don't you introduce a slave port? Let's say we could have the default xorg metaport for bleeding-edge machines, and xorg-legacy for the older ones; then both sets of packages would be built. Of course, the dependency chain should be relax enough so that it could be satisfied by any of them, and ALT_PKGDEP should be set by portupgrade's user. Regards, --=20 Th.
