I do a pkg_delete XFree86-4-\* and then do a 'portinstall XFree86-libraries XFree86-clients XFree86-font100dpi XFree86-font75dpi XFree86-fontCyrillic XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps XFree86-fontScalable XFree86-documents' Then I do 'portinstall XFree86-Server' and restart X. I prefer this to installing the metaport as it makes upgrading a bit easier, but you can certainly simplify a bit with 'portupgrade XFree86'. Just be aware that, unless this has been fixed, this will make several copies of the xc directory and X sources and consume amazing amounts of disk space. As soon as this is done, run "pkgdb -F" to reset all of the X dependencies from XFree86-4 to XFree86-libraries where they can happily remain before doing anything else. R.
