Seconded.  We are in a straddling situation where some cards are
better supported by 4.0 and other by 3.x.

I've played with manually symlinking the stuff in /var/db, but I'd
hardly recommend that as a general solution.

I know it is slimy, but couldn't there be a dummy "port" just
called "XFree86" that is what most other ports depend on?  The minority
of ports that actually care what version of X is installed could always
use the version-specific names...
