This basically means that FreeBSD users will be able to easily install/ 
uninstall/upgrade xmlroff (and it's dependencies) from pre-compiled  
packages or source code.

More information is available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

The changes which may be of interest are these:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/textproc/xmlroff/files/

These patches were submitted by a FreeBSD developer (hrs at  
FreeBSD.org) to fix the xmlroff build on FreeBSD 4.x systems.  You may  
want to contact him for further information.  Unfortunately I'm not a C  
developer.
