Description
Hello there,
I tried to install XFree86 on MacOS 10.3 I have Apple's X11 (including development files) installed.
Without any changes to ports.conf, I got the following error:
root# port install XFree86 ---> Unpacking tgz archive for XFree86 4.5.0_2 ---> Installing XFree86 4.5.0_2 ---> Activating XFree86 4.5.0_2 Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: /usr/X11R6/bin/appres already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port XFree86.
Next, I tried to set x11prefix in ports.conf. I got the same error as above
Then, I tried to hardcode
prefix /opt/X11
in /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports/x11/XFree86/Portfile
Still the same error.
Regards, Lars

Sounds like Apple's X11 was installed before the XFree port, though maybe not the X11SDK. The new XFree port checks for this.
Bug has been verified also on 10.4.2, with exception that replacing the ${x11prefix} to the actual path seems to work (hardcoding)
The directory set in the etc/ports/ports.conf is ignored though.
