Changes to editors/emacs and Mk/bsd.emacs.mk were taken from PR/137956 by Ashish SHUKLA (thanks!).  [1]

Those ports which define EMACS_PORT_NAME to be "emacs21" were
not touched (this time). They may be converted to the new
world order by removing the above mentioned assignment.

Four ports were marked as BROKEN with EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs23
(they do not compile):
. lang/bigloo;
. mail/wanderlust;
. mail/wanderlust-devel;
. www/emacs-w3m.

Three ports were marked as IGNORE with EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs23:
. japanese/egg-canna (the port version is dated as of 2001,
  does not compile with Emacs 23 and seems it cannot be fixed);
. deskutils/remember.el (was incorporated into Emacs 23);
. editors/nxml (was incorporated into Emacs 23).

Changes that were made after (and as a result of) exp run. For
those ports:
. japanese/migemo-emacs21;
. japanese/migemo-emacs22
EMACS_PORT_NAME?= was changed to EMACS_PORT_NAME= to the apropriate
emacs port name.

Satoshi Asami (asami) · 1.94.1
(1) Add new variable, XFREE86_VERSION, to specify which version of     XFree86 (3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set.     XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can     override it in /etc/make.conf.  When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB     will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the     dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries.  When     XFREE86_VER

Since XFree86 version 4 includes some software that used to be
    separate ports, when XFREE86_VERSION=3 the following variables are
    provided:

    USE_DGS		LIB_DEPENDS on x11/dgs
    USE_FREETYPE	LIB_DEPENDS on print/freetype
    USE_MESA		LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/Mesa3
    USE_XPM		LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/xpm

    When XFREE86_VERSION=4, these variables have no effect.  The
    LIB_DEPENDS in the tree for the above four ports have all been
    converted to the USE_* counterparts.  For your information, this
    is the count of the number of ports:

    USE_DGS		0
    USE_FREETYPE	16
    USE_MESA		36
    USE_XPM		236

    There is a new variable, XAWVER, which is set to 6 when
    XFREE86_VERSION=3 and 7 when XFREE86_VERSION=4.  This is also
    passed to PLIST_SUB so ports that build Xaw based shared libraries
    can use this variable to substitute the shlib version number.

    There is also a provision of using a separate mtree file for
    XFREE86_VERSION=4, but that part is not enabled yet.

Reviewed by:	the ports list
Tested by:	make index (XFREE86_VERSION=3 only)

(2) Add hebrew to list of valid categories.
