Thanks!, that worked, though I had to do a 'rehash' after the 'make install'.

I started using the approach of installing everything from ports, but
it takes a long time to build things like xorg and firefox. Even
though I don't like PC-BSD using KDE, their PBI system seems to
circumvent these problems.  I will read up on pkgNG, too.  Thanks!
