Hmm, I initially didn't notice this, because it was a batched install
of XFree86-4.  Now that I try to manually reinstall the port, it says:

===>   Generating temporary packing list
Running fc-cache to build fontconfig cache...
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts": caching, 0 fonts, 13 dirs
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi": caching, 397 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi": Killed
*** Error code 137

Stop in /usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig.

Apr  9 10:46:14 lurker kernel: pid 6636 (fc-cache), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space

Where do I look for a fix?
