Or, one could just download the sources from one of the XFree86
mirrors.  After all, XFree86 is pretty easy to de-install without the
aid of the ports systems.  (Just rm -rf /usr/X11R6).  Besides, most
XFree86-specific questions should be directed to xpert@xfree86.org. 
Also, I'd advise people having trouble with the newest XFree to check
the xpert archives.

XFree86 mailing list info:
http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo

XPert archives:

Of course, it's your judgement on whether or not to build/install
XFree86 via the ports or not.
