    I had *exactly* the same problems problems.I get the advise
    to manually put everything in /usr/ports/distfiles/mplayer-skins.
    Also installing xine from ports gave similar problems.
    How is manually putting the files in place going to work
    when the directories are auto cleaned?
    I had to open a 2nd root term and cp-ing the files into
    place while the portupgrade while busy (after autoclean).
    Would be nice if there was an option with an argument
    that would stop auto cleansing the directory where you
    manually add some files in the first place.

    cheers,

    A happy beastie-boy
