Do you find that including "device smbios" makes any perceptible
difference anywhere?

*Very* similarly, I would say:

root:/usr/ports/sysutils/xmbmon# cat Makefile
# Ports collection makefile for:	xmbmon
# Date created:				2001/08/30
# Whom:					kaz at kobe1995.net
(NAKAMURA Kauzushi) #
# $FreeBSD: ports/sysutils/xmbmon/Makefile,v 1.23 2008/03/23 23:03:11

PORTNAME=	xmbmon
PORTREVISION=	9

COMMENT=	A X motherboard monitor for LM78/79, W8378x, AS99127F,
VT82C686 and ADM9240

MASTERDIR=	${.CURDIR}/../mbmon	<-- (if you catch my drift)
