Portupgrade (and the FreeBSD ports system in general) can't (gracefully)
handle dfports (or packages built from them) that don't have an
underlying FreeBSD port.  The installer packages (listed above) are an
example of such.  To make portupgrade ignore them, you can add the
following to the HOLD_PKGS section of your pkgtools.conf file:

  HOLD_PKGS = [
    'libdfui-*',
    'dfuibe_installer-*',
    'dfuife_curses-*',
    'dfuife_cgi-*',
    'thttpd-notimeout-*',
  ]

Hopefully we'll handle this a better way in an upcoming release of the
installer packages.

Sorry CrAsH, I don't know what your imake/X-windows error is about,
though :/
