Well, seems I've another problem, look at this:

chip# cd /usr/ports/x11/wrapper
chip# make install clean
===>  wrapper-1.0_1 is forbidden: This port is for XFree86-4.
===>  Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.6_10
===>  Cleaning for wrapper-1.0_1

Yet according to the log file, below, I have XFree86-4.1.0. Now what?
