The problem here is that first, the directory structure changed, and second, WordPerfect is not packageable because the license prohibits redistribution. You will need to fetch this manually by hand. You can fetch it from: http://linux.corel.com/linux8/download.htm If you have the ports tree and you put the downloaded gzipped file for WordPerfect in /usr/ports/distfiles, you can use the port mechanism to do the installation for you (in /usr/ports/editors/wordperfect). You can also just gunzip the file and follow the instructions - I've done it both ways and either one works fine.
