I finally got through to freebsd.cdrom.com.

The netaudio_bin.tgz package on freebsd.cdrom.com compares as identical to the
one on the new BSDisc.

The only difference in the ports sources is that BSDisc does not include the
CVS subdirectories.

Differences could be introduced during builds by the imake configuration files,
but I am reasonably confident that mine are sound. (And we wouldn't want to
build netaudio without sound files, would we? :-)

At the risk of introducing a red herring, I note that the original Makefiles
that appear in the port sources include the setting:

  BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS =     -DFreeBSD

which should, of course, be:

  BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS =     -D__FreeBSD__

This error is propagated:

  STD_CPP_DEFINES = -traditional                -DFreeBSD
      STD_DEFINES =             -DFreeBSD

Since __FreeBSD__ appears in the netaudio sources, the port on freebsd will
not have been correctly compiled for FreeBSD.

Note: A quick look at the uses of __FreeBSD__ in the sources suggests that
this error is independent of the errors in my original report.
