I was actually easily able to get it build on snap 0206.. using the stock gcc and the patches from doug www.freebsd.org/~dfr .. mostly I did this a.) cvs's up the to newest XFree86 under/ usr/ports/x11/XFree86 b.) put the patch from doug on c.) ran the compile It compiled cleanly for me other then when I went to make install it errored out and i had to muck with it a bit, if you need help..
