I've found where this problem is coming from. It's in emacs20.3/src/s/freebsd.h. It sets a macro called BSD_SYSTEM based upon the version number contained in __FreeBSD__, checking for 1, 2 and 3. Of course, -current uses 4. I have found that you can check for __FreeBSD__ >= 3, and it will work, but this feels a bit like a hack. I've never updated a port, so I can either get some instruction from someone to put in a patch, or let someone else do it.

I've been having no problems with an Emacs 20.3 and X11R6 built in October on a -current system from April 6. (The Emacs is ELF, and built from my own sources instead of the port.) I'd like to track this down; could people give me more info privately? rms is looking at releasing a mostly bugfix Emacs, possibly tommorow, but it may be another month (he's about to leave town). I haven't been watching the changes; there may be some X-related fixes in there.
