You will have the same problem with `pkg_add -r XFree86' if you choose "4b". That is why I am opposed to only handling it in Sysinstall. In addition to "4c", the granular menu of X bits one wishes to install needs to be re-added. I tried this, but either bugs in libdialog or my knowledge of its API caused me to fail in the short time I had to do the XF4 changes this before 4.6.
