Yep.  There's actually two versions of amanda in ports:

/usr/ports/misc/amanda
/usr/ports/misc/amanda24

amanda24 (as of this writing) corresponds to amanda-2.4.1p1, which is what's 
normally distributed as the "latest stable" version at www.amanda.org.  So you 
might want to go with that one.

/usr/ports/misc/amanda is some version of amanda-2.3.  There are two versions 
in ports because these two versions are not compatable with each other, and 
you might be forced to use one or the other depending on your existing 
environment, if any.  Since it sounds like you're starting from scratch, 
backward compatability isn't really needed.

Bruce.
