/tmp is gone, now.

It turns out that a bit of patching was needed for recent HEAD, since the 
afs3_syscall is now declared in the base system's sys/sysproto.h; 
additionally declaring it in an AFS header caused build failures.
Anyway, I have done some light testing of the port at
http://web.mit.edu/freebsd/openafs/openafs.shar , which is basically the 
version you started off this thread with plus a couple minor changes.

It's not quite ready for the ports collection, as the handling around some 
of the foo.sample files should probably be reworked [1], I would like to 
have an actual rc script to make things easier out-of-the-box, and I 
expect it fails portlint.

Thanks again for pulling this up.

[1] I believe that the general practice for foo.sample files in the ports 
collection is to install the .sample file and also install a copy of it 
without the suffix.  At deinstall time, if the unsuffixed version remains 
identical to the .sample file, both are removed; otherwise, only the 
.sample version is removed.
