  I had this happen too.  I did something really hack-ish to get around
  it (like delete that documentation or some other unspeakable hack.)

 The coredump is due to bugs in the rman command (which is installed by
 the imake port, believe it or not).  I submitted a bugreport on it in
 July, and hopefully it will be in Xfree86 4.4.0.  Installing the
 textproc/rman port may mask the bug until then, or you can drop this
 file into ports/devel/imake-4/files and rebuild imake.

Installing /usr/ports/emulators/linux_compat seems to fix this.  I have no
idea why, but I went ahead and installed it so I could install the Nvidia
X driver.  After I did that (built and installed linux_compat and built
and installed the Nvidia driver), I went ahead and re-entered
x11/XFree86-4/ and did a make install again (mostly just looking for the
error so I could comment the lines out of the makefile), and it built and
installed (after I rebuilt and reinstalled imake-4, just on principle).
There's an odd dependency hiding in there somewhere.

Now I just have to figure out why X only believes this LCD is capable of
640x480 or 320x240 instead of the 1920x1600 it's actually capable of, so
back to -mobile I go.

I have an old ISA SB16 with the matcd interface on it and the 2x Creative
(Matsushita/Panasonic) CD-ROM drive that goes with it.  I'd be more than
happy to ship these off to the project if the project wants them.  Last
time I bothered to plug them into a machine and check them, they were
still functional.
