I got XFree86-4.2.0_1,1.tgz from ftp.freebsd.org. The dir I used was
pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/x11/

installing gets

pkg_add -r XFree86-4.2.0_1,1.tgz
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/XFree86-4.2.0_1,1.tgz: 
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch
`ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/XFree86-4.2.0_1,1.tgz'
by URL

downloading yielded a similar result.

I guess my questions are:

   a) any benefit to using the FreeBSD package over www.xfree86.org

   b) if so, where does it live?
