Originally posted by cbkihong I do understand there can be more problems if I don't stick to ports/packages and compile everything myself.

But it seems by doing so I can no longer use ports/packages for any x applications as the ports assume xfree86 4.2.0 instead of 4.3.0. if I use those ports/packages then xfree 4.2.0 would be fetched and installed, and that is definitely not what I want.
I compiled XFree86 4.3.0 on my FreeBSD 5.1-BETA installation from the ports tree this past weekend. Is your ports tree up to date?
I normally install from the ports tree, update the ports tree via cvsup and use `portupgrade --all` to recompile all the ports that I have installed.
Many of the ports have ./configure style options that you can use on the make command line in the form of:

APLAYMIDI(1) General Commands Manual APLAYMIDI(1)NAME
aplaymidi - play Standard MIDI Files
SYNOPSIS
aplaymidi -p client:port[,...] [-d delay] midifile ...
DESCRIPTION
aplaymidi is a command-line utility that plays the specified MIDI file(s) to one or more ALSA sequencer ports.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Prints a list of options.
-V, --version
Prints the current version.
-l, --list
Prints a list of possible output ports.
-p, --port=client:port,...
Sets the sequencer port(s) to which the events in the MIDI file(s) are sent.
A client can be specified by its number, its name, or a prefix of its name. A port is specified by its number; for port 0 of a
client, the ":0" part of the port specification can be omitted.
Multiple ports can be specified to allow playback of MIDI file(s) that contain events for multiple devices (ports), as specified by
"Port Number" meta events.
For compatibility with pmidi(1), the port specification is taken from the ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS environment variable if none is given on
the command line.
-d, --delay=seconds
Specifies how long to wait after the end of each MIDI file, to allow the last notes to die away.
BUGS
aplaymidi handles "Port Number" meta events, but not "Port Name" meta events.
