    Hm... that wasn't necessary the last time I tried it. I'll see if I can
    reproduce.

    As long as your ports tree is up to date and you don't have anything
    threads-related in /etc/make.conf or /etc/libmap.conf, you should be ok.
    You will have to rebuild anything that uses threads, though, and that
    includes XFree86. If you have kde and/or qt installed it gets a little
    more complicated.

    Not sure what you mean here, more detail would be nice.
