To extend what Matt said, you have to extend the OS checks in XFree86 to
detect that we are DragonFly, add a dragonfly.cf for imake and scan the
whole XFree86 tree for code depending on __FreeBSD__ or __FreeBSD_version.

If you have done all that and its working, send me a diff and it will be
part of the override port :)
