>Description:

In the Porter's Handbook, Chapter 17 (Automated package list creation)
it mentions:

    [...]
    Next, create a new set of directories which your port 
    can be installed, and install any dependencies.

    # mkdir /var/tmp/port-name
    # mtree -U -f /etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist -d -e -p /var/tmp/port-name
    # make depends PREFIX=/var/tmp/port-name
    [...]

The mtree(8) line can be misleading. It should be mentioned that 
BSD.x11(-4).dist should be used instead of BSD.local.dist if you
have an X11 application that is being installed -- especially if
USE_X_PREFIX is defined (or anything with GNOME or KDE as well).

>How-To-Repeat:

lynx http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-autoplist.html

>Fix:

Add a line describing that BSD.x11(-4).dist should be used if you have
an X11 application.
