 * Just to clear up a misconception; this isn't actually a sysinstall
 * problem.  This is a ports bug which Satoshi or somebody introduced
 * when they added a dependency on the XFree86 port very prematurely.  It
 * was premature because no actual package exists for XFree86 yet and yet
 * it's part of the dependancy chain now for a lot of packages, 

You are entitled to you opinion, but please don't misrepresent the
facts.  They are not part of the dependency chain for any *packages*.

 *                                                              resulting
 * in severe dysfunction unless it's removed by hand from the INDEX you
 * use for package adding.

True, but all the INDEX files *I* make for package sets (and those are
the only ones you ought to be using, since those are the only ones
truly synced with the time of package builds) have the XFree86 stuff
stripped. :)
