FreeBSD frisbee 6.2-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8 #0: Tue Oct 16 17:01:27 CDT 2007     root at frisbee:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/rack  i386

>Description:
When creating the ports software hierarchy X11R6 is made to point to /usr/local.
The problem is when the software resides on a distribution server, when the distribution root is not necessarily the host's root, causing the link to point to  the wrong "local".  Please make X11R6 -> local



>How-To-Repeat:
install ports in a new system

>Fix:
buried somewhere in the ports makefiles I assume
