XFree86 doesn't stomp on /usr/local (nor does the other port semi- automatically installed via sysinstall, linux_base). As part of the process of packaging the base system, I support the idea of a new type of more tightly integrated package, installed in /usr (for the core packages) or /usr/{opt,pkg,contrib}. "ports" would remain as they are, though (seems too late to reclaim /usr/local if you ever want to use those...).
