Since you're building on 4.7 (and the only supported version of -STABLE is=
=20
4.10) your basic problem is that mono is not going to work.  I strongly=20
recommend that you follow the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING and update=
=20
your system to at least 4.10-STABLE.  There is absolutely no good reason to=
=20
stay with 4.7, and 4.10 is a considerable improvement in many respects.

Also, it is policy (see the "Porter's Handbook") that the only supported=20
versions of FreeBSD for ports are the most recent -STABLE and -CURRENT. =20
Support for obsolete versions of FreeBSD is simply beyond the means of most=
=20
maintainers (it's difficult enough for me with -STABLE and -CURRENT--I'd ne=
ed=20
a dozen separate systems to debug each and every port I maintain back to th=
e=20
first version of FreeBSD I used (4.0).

As to porting XSP and mod_mono to FreeBSD--that is in the works.  I'm not v=
ery=20
productive right now as I'm in the throws of relocating to a new job in a=20
different part of the country.  But it is high on my list of priorities.
