that would probably be better done as x11/fvwm3

btw: pledge can be quite a pain when you're dealing with libraries
from ports - it can be done if the programs and libraries involved are
simple, but you can't expect somebody updating a library to figure out
all the possible interactions with pledge that might occur due to the
update.

you don't want this ^^

those two are ok
you're also missing these
@pkgpath x11/fvwm2,-main
@pkgpath x11/fvwm2,-fvicons
@pkgpath x11/fvwm2,-fvwm2
and these in quirks $stem_extensions
'fvwm2+fvicons' => 'fvwm2',
'fvicons' => 'fvwm2',
to test the update path, fix the above and build packages including a
new quirks package. move those package files to a directory on their own.
install the old package/s from a snapshot and point pkg_add at them:
PKG_PATH=/tmp/fvwmpkgs pkg_add -D unsigned -ui
test with the various versions of the old package.
(the old stuff was a complicated set of alternatives, more akin to
what FLAVORS would do, they aren't a typical multipackage).
