After you are done there, read xc/xc/config/cf/host.def and /xc/xc/config/cf/site.def in the source directory. The only fbsd-specific caveat I can think of is that by default 'make install' installs to /usr/X11R6, potentially overwriting the files installed by ports and or packages. I don't have enough experience with freebsd to know how serious a problem that might be. I avoided that by #defining ProjectRoot in xc/xc/config/cf/host.def, and uncommenting '#define NothingOutsideProjectRoot YES' and '#define EtcX11Directory ProjectRoot/etc' in xc/xc/config/cf/site.def . The other obvious alternative would be to deinstall your existing xf86 4.3.0 packages and/or ports before installed 4.4.0 from source. I didn't do this in part becase I didn't want to figure out what to do about all the packages which ddepend on those.
