Any ideas?  I'd like to take a swing at compiling KDE on it.
XFree86, from the ports tree (and the dfports tree) will build just
fine.  KDE and Gnome, however, both fail to build at this time.
I disagree... the regular ports tree XFree86 failed on my box.
but I was building the server.
You can build X if you have the dfports installed.

I have dfports.  I don't see an X server anywhere in there.  Is it 
just
the libs and I will have to display elsewhere?  If so I can do that.
Well then, maybe you should just try to build it straight from the 
FreeBSD
ports tree. The reason the build dies is because of a linker path 
search fails.
If you'll look back through the news-group I gave a script file 
showing how to
quickly hack around and fix the build problem.

What's the newsgroup address... I was thinking about using this instead 
of email
from now on... [is it postable?]
