I've had problems building the ports gnupg-1.4.6_1 and
intltool-0.35.1 using 'portmanager -u', or 'make
install' in the appropriate directories of my ports
tree. I keep encountering the messages(my comments in
[] are not part of the message):

NOT_FOR_ARCHS is _usually_ there for a reason. In this case, it's because

Install the latest version available in FreeBSD Ports, which

This is not trivial, which is one of the reasons it hasn't been done.
First, try to diagnose your errors with TeTeX. You should probably be
able to get this to work. The errors may have to do with your files, or
the commands you are

Firstly, it looks like you are using an old ports tree.
You should update it by downloading a newer tarball or using
csup. Read the pertinent section of the handbook if you
