Hi Peter,
I do not know much about package based system configuration. I recommend
use the ports tree and build the port from source.
Maybe you should consult the handbook for some details I do not explain... :-)
1st) Install the port tree source
2nd) Build cvsup (either with or without gui)
3rd) decide what you want keep up to date (look into /usr/share/examples/cvsup/)
4th) backup all your modifications you madde under /usr/src/ and/or /usr/ports/
5th) delete the port tree source or the /usr/src or both
6th) use cvsup to keep your sources / ports tree up to date
7th) install portupgrade (if you want, but it's recommented)
8th) update the required ports (as far as you're sure it's ok)
9th) install gnokii, either by
cd /usr/ports/comms/gnokii && make install clean, or
portinstall gnokii
Good luck,
Jens
