Can you cite an example of such a port? Most ports depend on a specific library, and never try to rebuild the library port if the library is already installed. I think this is exactly the case with XFree86-4: ports only depend on libX11.so.6, and since it is already installed on the system, no rebuild of XFree86-4-libraries is done. G'luck, Peter -- I had to translate this sentence into English because I could not read the original Sanskrit.
