What do you mean? The accessibility category wasn't deprecated, it was added. atk, gail, and at-spi we moved from their previous directories into accessibility. It sounds like you might not be cvsup'ing ports-all (which is a mistake). In that case, you should either change your supfile to cvsup ports-all, or add ports-accessibility to the list of modules (note: your cvsup server may not have this module yet, so it's best to just cvsup ports-all). > The only workaround I've found so far is=20 > using parts of the ports collection coming with FreeBSD=20 > 5.2-RELEASE, where the mentioned above ports are=20 > still present.

This list (freebsd-gnome) is the canonical list. there is also a really good website at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome that discusses all of the various help options.
