Hi Brian,

The issue was caused by the use of GNU xargs switches not available in the
BSD version. I did a fix by replacing the calls to xags by the gxargs (the GNU version available in ports).

I'm not a rpm4 user, but if you wanna try the fix, I can provide you a test buid for your arch and version or a patch if you wanna build it in your own.

You can also bypass the limitation - and somehow test the fix - with the current package by performing the following steps:
- install misc/findutils
- alias xargs gxargs
- run rpm4 for the nano package again

Let me know how it works so I can push the changes.

Cheers,
-- rodrigo

Log:
  archivers/rpm4: Replace calls to xargs by gxargs

  Latest version of archivers/rpm4 uses GNU specific option
  when calls xargs. This causes the proccess to fail.

  This commit adds misc/findutils as a run dependency and
  replaces xargs calls by its GNU variant gxargs.

  Also Bump portrevision.
