I wasn't real happy that most of the libraries installed via MacPorts were that many levels down _and_ had version numbers in the directory names. How are other pieces of software supposed to be able to find them? Perhaps they also got installed into
These levels are there to support an enable/disable function in the "port" installer that lets you disable a port on the fly without deinstalling it. You should only need the /opt/local/[...] includes to pick up everything that is currently enabled.

This is how it works right now although configure looks in both /sw and /opt during the one install and will drag libraries from either which could cause issues.
With a small amount of work by us the OSX people could also have an easy source install of Xastir.
When Derrick gets the time to update the port in MacPorts then it will be as easy as typing "port install xastir" to get it installed. Unfortunately it looks like the OpenMotif port is unmaintained so the 1.9.4 port uses Lesstif.
