Make sure you deinstall all of XFree86-3.3.x, particularly including the imake-3.3.x port before you attempt to install XFree86-4.2.1. The 3.3.x imake is not suitable for compiling X 4.2.1, but it's sufficient to fool the port Makefile into trying... If you're using portupgrade(1), it's as simple as: pkg_deinstall -r imake-\* echo "XFREE86_VERSION=4" >> /etc/make.conf portinstall -N x11/XFree86-4 Nb. that first command will remove *every* port/pkg that uses X: you'ld want to re-install them anyhow after upgrading.
