I found out that getting rid of most of the video drivers was already
a huge step forward:

drwxr-xr-x    2 root  wheel    512 Oct  3 12:23 xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2_2
drwxr-xr-x    2 root  wheel    512 Oct  3 12:23 xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3_2
drwxr-xr-x    2 root  wheel    512 Oct  3 12:23 xf86-video-ati-6.9.0

That are the only three I have. Yes, there are many more x*
applications nistalled, but it's not something I am worried about.

I suggest to just make the port, to submit it, and see what works
and breaks and see what people think about it.
