 Attempting to pkg_add kde4 fails because the lame3.97_1.tgz is not located
 in the latest ftp location.  I and many others would appreciate it if you
 would add lame to latest folder so that this package will install.  It was
 previously available in the 7.0 release.

Lame was available on the ftp site?  Are you sure?

I thought lame was one of the packages that couldn't be distributed in
binary form due to license restrictions.

In the past, it really was. But I think it was possible to add it
via pkg_add. It's some time ago, but memory serves me right, I
did pkg_add -r lame because it was possible... if there was a way
to find out if some software has been installed via port OR package,
I could find this out. :-)

Because of the few dependencies, it's no problem to use the port
to install it first, then pkg_add -r the KDE 4 packages. Maybe
install nasm prior to make.

The Makefile of lame still states:

RESTRICTED= patent issues, see http://www.mp3licensing.com/

If licensing problems are still present, there may be no way to
put a precompiled package onto the FTP server.
