just need to switch filenames atop patch from 0.46.1 to 0.46.4 then it applies cleanly and works (i imagine; i'm not using PPC here) the patch i'm referring to came from https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=415b90af769fbdbb8566bc39aab62d766ea11638
i shoulda known you already fixed this hours ago. thanks again Yuri!
(In reply to Chad Jacob Milios from comment #1) No problem! Thank you for your interest in this port.
