The consensus from portmgr is that XFree86 needs a dedicated, full-time maintainer to stay in the tree (lesi@ is no longer going to be looking after it, after many hours of keeping it going). We're actually hoping no one will step up and volunteer to do so :-) It would make the infrastructure much easier to be able to take out all the conditional code. As well, I doubt anyone has tried to keep up with it in the post-xorg7.2 world. pointyhat has not been building the packages for many, many, months because it sees xorg as the default X implementation. So, if someone wants to keep it, they should speak up NOW rather than later; if someone doesn't soon, I'll lobby to get rid of it. mcl
