 This is not the problem, packages are expected to reflect the system
 they were built on, not the system they are being installed into.
 
 I suppose a port have some default options (x11,tk,threads) and
 installing port on clean installation of FreeBSD would produce these
 default options. Package will have same default options.

 End users have trouble keeping food off their keyboard and sorting messages
