I built a static-linked dialog on an RELENG_8_3 box and > dropped that in place. Actually it appears the dialog binary doesn't work at all because I forgot the 6.x can't run an 8.x binary. Without a working dialog binary, the ports system silently fails. I did a make config on a port and it just gave me "options unchanged" and completed the config target without giving an error. Make (even with an 8.3 make) complains of malformed conditionals in the src/gnu subtree, so I'm stuck on that one until I have time to dig. Reverting /usr/bin/dialog to the RELENG_6 binary makes config dialogs in ports work just fine.
