Hi Mark,

If that is the case with FreeBSD then I'd suggest they be kept  
separate. The 'suite' contains other items I don't use. It would be  
simpler to have x3270 and c3270 ports. I'll consider the patching and  
get back to you. I need to read through some patch documentation and  
understand how Macports handle things in more depth. If you could  
point me to some documentation I'd appreciate it.
