It works on 7 and above without it. Moreover, the TeX Live's configure script already takes care of the FreeBSD version in the FreeBSD way. Please take a look: http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/utils/biber/configure?revision=26215&view=markup lines 3563-3583, or just search for '__FreeBSD_version'. The binaries distributed with the source work on FreeBSD>=701000 and biber will not be installed if older FreeBSD is detected. (I meant that it could be possible to cover FreeBSD-6 with biber binaries distributed over CTAN. But that's not extremely important for now.) 2. fontconfig is a run dependency as well, xetex needs it to run. 3. TeX Live ships with its own portable FreeBSD i386/amd64 xz and wget binaries and install-tl/tlmgr use them. They will not work on FreeBSD<7. Therefore, it could be possible that you need to add xz and wget as build/run dependencies on FreeBSD<7 and on architectures other than i386/amd64, although I haven't checked this. 4. Since the aim of your port is not to create portable binaries, there is no reason not to build xindy. You can freely add '--enable-xindy CLISP=/path to the clisp binary/', and lang/clisp as a build dependency. -- Nikola Lečić = Никола Лечић fingerprint : FEF3 66AF C90E EDC3 D878 7CDC 956D F4AB A377 1C9B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
