I just tried it again explicitly following those instructions from the
start, identical results.

This was a pretty fresh installation from CURRENT, not a long upgrade chain
or from 6.x. Everything's up to date. Via ports itself, there's no way to
get newer X11 libraries than 6.8 itself, correct?

I'm assuming this is what it's supposed to look like, since these are all
the default ports versions, with Nvidia libGL and etc.

ldd glxinfo
glxinfo:

I moved the previous semi-working /compat/linux attempt (gentoo) out of the
way then reinstalled all of the Linux ports including base, after
following the instructions. All of the files, layouts, and settings appear
normal compared to previous attempts, but the result is the same. Anything
that tries to load libGL crashes immediately after loading it.
