 This should probably describe what it is, not just its possible
 values.  Saying something like "set this to the major version of the
 preferred XFree86 release" would be better, methinks.  After that, you
 can say that the default is 3 (for now).
 
 Also, please avoid using first- or second-person pronouns in manual
 pages or other documentation.

 How about:
 
 Set this to the major version of the XFree86 release installed on the
 system. Currently the default value is 3, and the only other valid
 value is 4.

 Patch is for deprecated option, from the ports/UPDATING file:
 
   The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the
   X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or
   xfree86-3.  X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current.  If you are
   switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade:
 
   pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-*
   cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install
   pkgdb -F
 
   Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting
   X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process.
 
 I could probably document this instead.

 X_WINDOW_SYSTEM is documented both in FAQ and in Installing X11 chapter
 of Handbook. I think you can close this PR, Tom.

 And now something completely different.

State-Changed-Why:  
I'm inclined to agree with Pav here.  This is documented elsewhere 
and we have at least a dozen other ports knobs only documented 
in the Makefile.  Closed.
