No, this is a mistake in the package. Xfree86 is not a package so you
can't check for it (the check works by looking for an dirextory
in/var/db/pkg, in this case called XFree86-3.3.3.1). The easy workround
is, as root, to ``mkdir XFree86-3.3.3.1'' in /var/db/pkg.

  Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It
  was this thinking that caused the problem in the first place.
