USES=xfce now defaults to gtk3, so for ported applications requiring
GTK2 XFCE support USES=xfce:gtk2 should be used.

+AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The ports tree now supports overlays
+
+ overlays are a way to help users to integrate their own ports tree
+ with the official ports tree without having to maintain clone of the
+ official tree and remerge on regular basis.
+
+ The ports tree will lookup in the overlays (in the order the are listed in
+ OVERLAY variable) for the dependencies and the USES. It will use the first
+ found.
+
+ in order to use it the user have to declare his overlays that way in their
+ make.conf:
+ OVERLAYS= overlay1 overlay2 overlay3
