In principal we only backport security fixes. If sth else breaks due to this, we fix those ports as well. AFAIK there was only one exception to these rules and that was a port which was completely unusable. Now for your problem, you can just pull the -current port's Makefile to your 3.8 machine and it should work. Furthermore it is consensus among porters that installing xbase on a machine is not a problem, so the broken FLAVOR is a nuisance, nothing more. Feel free to execrate me for not fixing the problem before 3.8 tree freeze. Nikolay
