Hello Alan!

Sure, exmh is another example which needed uncompface. Now the compface
port is deleted and reduced to faces, this all gets a little bit more
complicated!

It should, if I remember right.

Yes, but keep in mind, that I'm working on a new port. So
you can directly sen the diffs to me, and I merge it into the new port
of faces. This port could also be compiled without X11 support and
without audio support, so you get nearly what the compface port was
before.
The problem of all this is, what are useful defaults? Especially in the
context of portupgrade. I'm missing a feature, which saves the original
settings when building the port for later automated upgrade with
portsupgrade.
Suggest you build and install the faces port with WITHOUT_X11 and
WITOUT_AUDIO but the defaults are WITH_X11 and WITH_RPLAY. An later
upgrade with portsupgrade leads to an not intended configuration.
Best regards
Lars
