Just to clear up a misconception; this isn't actually a sysinstall
problem.  This is a ports bug which Satoshi or somebody introduced
when they added a dependency on the XFree86 port very prematurely.  It
was premature because no actual package exists for XFree86 yet and yet
it's part of the dependancy chain now for a lot of packages, resulting
in severe dysfunction unless it's removed by hand from the INDEX you
use for package adding.
