My solution was much the same - downgrade to 1.6 for the time being.<snip/>
Is there a particular reason you're not installing from the ports?
My dev env is a couple of ancient sun boxes needed for legacy software, and our live environment is a cluster of BSD boxes. The only way we can even attempt to keep some sense of version control is to install everything by hand :(
Have you considered NetBSD packages (http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html)? They're similar to FreeBSD ports and designed to be compiled from source and installed on multiple OSs, including Solaris and all the *BSDs. Depending on how "ancient" your sun boxes are, they may do what you need.
One drawback right now is that there aren't as many packages for NetBSD as for FreeBSD. However, there is a port2pkg tool, and I've found it to be fairly easy to create packages manually.
AxKit was one of the missing packages, so I created one for 1.6.1. I installed it on Solaris 8, and one of my co-workers may have installed it on FreeBSD. I'm not done testing it yet, so I haven't submitted it for official inclusion, but it seems to work so far. If you or anyone else wants to try it, let me know and I'll send it to you.
