You're right. I think the links are created by
XFree86-devel-4.0.3-5.i386.rpm, which is installed by linux_devtools-7
(not in the ports collection yet).

I'm not sure this is the right thing to do. It doesn't look like a
bug in the XFree86-libs-4.0.3-5.i386.rpm package, which makes the
behaviour intentional. It's our (or mine at least) policy to install
packages without any modifications that are not related to them being
installed on FreeBSD. Adding a link would be such a modification.
It's even more a hack if we're only creating one such link while none
of the libraries have *.so links.

It looks like a problem that tis local to SO. Thoughts?
