 deactivate your current texinfo, and then take the old Portfile...

 Thank you - that part worked. I got @texinfo-6.6_0 installed and
 activated. But...!

 activated or installed an old version.

 Alas, wrong. Both {{{sudo port upgrade outdated}}} and even {{{sudo port
 install xemacs}}} immediately wipe my texinfo @6.6_0 and replace it with
 @6.7_0

 So, what do we do to get X11-capable xemacs (which can throw display
 window to my remote machine) installed???
