Yes, but of course it said XFree86 was not installed, so it
couldn't be upgraded. Thus I have to use
# portinstall -R
which is equivalent to
# portupgrade -NR

To get something running I installed XFree86 from my 4.7-RELEASE
CD. I also tried to upgrade this and was left with a dysfunctional
XFree86 System (some modules and fonts couldn't be found).
So I just stay with the 4.7 installation and hope to get gnome2
working somehow.

Uli.
