You do have - imake for one. imake-6.8.2 is for use with Xorg. You want imake-4.5.0 when using XFree86.

You can always do it the way I do it when I reinstall my ports - nuke everything and reinstall them from scratch. (By nuking everything I mean doing essentially a "pkg_delete '*'" and then following up with "rm -fr /usr/X11R6 /usr/local" just to take care of any debris.) It does take a bit of time rebuilding everything, but I almost never have any problems building any ports. > > Hint if you have problems with Firefox and Xorg!
