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.

Shawn, It looks like there is a separate tarball. This is the download sirte for the freebsd port. http://x3270.bgp.nu/download/ It may be as simple as cloning the x3270 port and changing the port name, download file, and checksum. The documentation is kind of a mess right now because it is under development. But here it is: http://geeklair.net/new_macports_guide/ You can make a "local portfile repository" as shown in the docs, copy the x3270 portfile and modify it for c3270. If you can tell us how it installs manually, we can help you along if you want to try it. It is probably very easy. Mark
