    Installing /usr/ports/emulators/linux_compat seems to fix this. I have no
    idea why, but I went ahead and installed it so I could install the Nvidia
    X driver. After I did that (built and installed linux_compat and built
    and installed the Nvidia driver), I went ahead and re-entered
    x11/XFree86-4/ and did a make install again (mostly just looking for the
    error so I could comment the lines out of the makefile), and it built and
    installed (after I rebuilt and reinstalled imake-4, just on principle).
    There's an odd dependency hiding in there somewhere.

    Now I just have to figure out why X only believes this LCD is capable of
    640x480 or 320x240 instead of the 1920x1600 it's actually capable of, so
    back to -mobile I go.
