The problem is caused by interesting version numbering in the www/lynx-current port which now conflicts with www/lynx: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:lynx-current] make -V PKGNAME lynx-2.8.7d4 Basically the problem was fixed in lynx-current (I assume, I haven't checked) 2.8.6d14 which really should have been 2.8.6.d14 to avoid problems like this.
