Sure, if there were one. :-)

Todd Vierling doesn't normally create the compat* package until after
the next release. Like, when it does get it made, it will have the 1.5.3
shared libraries, once and forever.

If you still have the 1.5.2 sets from your previous attempt, you can
extract the shared libraries from them. Something like this:

	mkdir -p /emul/aout
	cd /emul/aout
	tar xzvf /path/to/base.tgz './usr/libexec/ld.so' './usr/lib/lib*so*'
	tar xzvf /path/to/comp.tgz './usr/lib/lib*so*'
	tar xzvf /path/to/etc.tgz './etc/ld.so.conf'
	tar xzvf /path/to/xbase.tgz './usr/X11R6/lib/*so*'
	tar xzvf /path/to/xcomp.tgz './usr/X11R6/lib/*so*'
	/etc/rc.d/ldconfig start
