Small correction: not "new" but "additional" names, I mean
that old names still present.
Yes, after Satoshi apply my patch and rebuilds XFree.

Well, everything from ports area assumed to be tuned/configured/patched
especially for FreeBSD and goes under original names. But I think
nothing wrong happens, if patching fact will be specially mentioned
as you want. /usr/ports/Xfree86/pkg/DESCR should be updated
according to your proposal. Since Satoshi is our ports master, I pass this
issue to him.
