You should get into a habit of using portupgrade. It does more or less does the make/pkg_delete/make reinstall thing, but it also saves old libraries so you can binaries gradually, as well as verify dependency order and consistency.

Did you do a make clean before resuming the build? :( I had pkg_deleted the Xft, make deinstall it and make clean and whatever similar action i cud think of... __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

So far, I have -PufR XFree86, and -Pufr Xft and done the fc-cache. The system is an AMD 900 and rebuilding everything would take hours longer than the 2000+ XP did :).
