Personally, I'd stick with the individual ports, rather than x11/XFree86-4,
which not only has pthread issues, but is also not prefix safe
(installs a whole bunch of crud in /etc/X11), and installation will lead
to numerous weird errors later on as packages/ports try to register
their dependencies on imake-4.0.1, XFree86-libraries-4.0.1_2 etc..
(after all, that's what bento is using to build the packages).

Adding a suitable BROKEN tag to x11/XFree86-4 might help speed up
resolution, or at least back out the changes that caused this whole mess.
