Yes the patches are in the /usr/ports/devel/fam/files/ dir. It contains
fam.sh.sample, patch-Makefile.am and patch-freebsd. The patch-freebsd
issue has numerous references to MNTTYPE_NFS. I am looking through it, but
my programming foo is well nill, so it only makes a little sense to me.

This is a fresh install, then cvsup w/ the new make world. Which is my
normal practice...CD install, cvsup, make/install world install additional
packages.

fam 2.6.4

right which is what I gathered from freshports.org and from the last email
to the list that I was quoting that happened right around the last time I
built up a box.

Thank you for the response, I'll also be shooting out an email to the
fbsd-questions list to see if anyone else has encountered this issue.
