The port's Makefile contains: .if !defined(DISPLAY) BROKEN= requires X session to run xrdb .endif That is, it's only broken if you're not running X. Therefore, you should build it from inside X. > How can I overide the "broken" flag, and try to build xscrabble? Just remove or commment out the "BROKEN" line in the Makefile.
