Asking on the FreeBSD-current mailing list got me a referenmce to a mail by John
Birrel, a recent one, howing that they have disabled dtrace in ALL of their X
ports (not only amd64, x86 also).  I would suggest that it makes a lot more
sense, temporarily, for the xorg build to block this directly, for all FreeBSD.
 Not that it matters to me, now that I know the answer, I'll get past this.
