 With native X it should be ok (if the package builds with the
 freetype2/fontconfig in native X) -- the problem is that the minimum
 accepted version of a package in native X is incorrectly tied to the
 minimum accepted version in pkgsrc, which can and does get bumped for
 reasons that don't affect native X. Unfortunately, this isn't easy to
 fix.
 
 With pkgsrc X, the patch will break the build...
