It was just too big a change to make the weekend before 4.5-release
went out.

A separate message noted:

What I did was put that under x11-servers, and I moved aside all the
other XFree86-4* ports. This seems a little risky, but it worked
for what I wanted. (I also made sure all parts of any other X11
were removed before I started to make XFree86-4)
I believe people generally do want to get 4.2.0 back into the ports
collection, but that XFree86 port needed some reorganization work.
I'm just a mildly-interested bystander though, I don't actually do
all that much with X.
