Well, in an ideal world the ports that need parts of X would only test
for
the parts that they need. However right after 3.2-R came out there was a
flurry of -questions mail about broken pkg dependencies because sysinstall
wasn't properly registering the X install. If the port depending on the
existence of /var/db/pkg/X* is actually an error I'll report what I find to
the -ports list.
Thanks,
