Thanks Gerard for the help. A "portmanager -u -l -y" updated something 
completely else (php5) but didn't show any other errors in the log :
"portmanager 0.4.1_7 INFO: all ports are up to date"
All should be fixed now.

Got a hint from Boris Samodorov too :

# pkg_delete linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_7

Didn't know that pkg_delete worked for ports, thought it was just for 
packages. Had to deinstall linux-sun-jdk14 first, but the reinstall used 
already the new linux-xorg-libs. So all is back on track now.

Thanks for the help !

Beni.
