I get that too, but ignored it without investigation:-), since I
didn't *see* any problems, performance or otherwise.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by either "src" or "pkg 'groups'" -
but the "memstick" image that I always use has both a) the sources for
the base system - which includes the kernel sources, without which you
wouldn't be able to build the drm-kmod port AFAIK and b) the ports
tree, as separately (de-)selectable components. No pre-built packages.
