No, this is apparently a package for FreeBSD 5.x not 4.x, but FreeBSD
4.6.1 isn't supported by the current package collection anyway (see
www.freebsd.org/ports).  You may be able to use a package for
4.11-STABLE, but chances are good it won't work.  Stick with the
packages that were shipped with 4.6.1 (you might be able to find these
on a mirror, see http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org), update to a modern
version of FreeBSD, or build the software by hand.
