Not without completely tearing down and rebuilding my src and ports
trees, and I can't afford that right now! :-(

If I just mount freefall on /a (I tried) then the CVS/Repository files

Hmmmm..  Part of the overall design was that advanced packages would
still be eaten by old versions of the utilities by simply having the
extended behavior disabled.  The silence is a feature, not a bug.. :-)
