I had the problem with this with FreeBSD 4.0S too.

It would be nice to have a URL which explained the problem in more detail:

1. when the old layout changed to the new layout
2. information on the changes
3. general information on what needs to be done to change a package
   to the new layout.

I eventually gave up and copied /usr/ports from my 4.1R cdrom to at
least have a usable ports directory.

I looked at variout make files, but don't understand freebsd enough to
know really where to start.

This extra information would be really handy.
