I tested on amd64 -current and it works fine. I have one gripe with the
port. The binaries are a bit of a mess:
fishtank$ grep bin pkg/PLIST
bin/RTTR/
@bin bin/RTTR/s-c_resample
@bin bin/RTTR/s25update
@bin bin/RTTR/sound-convert
bin/rttr.sh
@bin bin/s25client
@bin bin/s25edit
Is bin/rttr.sh even needed? It assumes bash is installed. I also never
saw a port dumping binaries to a new folder in /usr/local/bin.
Final gripe, the binary names are not obviously related to the port
name. Not sure how to handle that, rename them or mention what
they are used for in the readme?
I tested by running s25client, didn't try other binaries.

Adam
