I just saw this article:

http://slashdot.org/articles/03/11/25/0330208.shtml?tid=131&tid=179&tid=185&tid=189&tid=190

an took a look at the patch here:

http://www.pycage.de/download/expocity-11-24-03.diff

Figuring to give it a try, I got it to compile and install but the keystroke that is supposed to 
activate it (Alt-Tab) doesn't do anything now.  Perhaps someone else might have a better 
idea what to do with it and how to track the problem down???  It did compile cleanly...

At any rate, here is the process I used.

1) cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/metacity

2) make extract && make patch

3) cd work && ln -s metacity-2.6.3 metacity

4) patch < expocity-11-24-03.diff

5) mv expocity* metacity/src

6) rm metacity && patch < Makefile.in_patch

7) cd ../ && make && make install

I made up Makefile.in_patch myself and its contents are
(yes, those are supposed to be tabs before the "\" symbols
but this webmail client won't let me type/paste tabs):
