How can I determine whether I have Apple's X11 installed or not, I get the
following confusing error message:

Error: 
                    You have an Apple X11SDK installation already.
                        MacPorts will not overwrite it.

                    If you wish to use Apple X11,
                        install it from your MacOSX install disc.

                    If you really want to use XFree86 instead,
                        please move it aside first :

                            sudo mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6.apple

By the way, can I download Apple's X11 package from somewhere ? I don't have
the installation dvd with me.

Cheers,

Eric
