I had to do the same thing - 4.3 hosed my system good, and I had to go
back to 4.2.x if I wanted a GUI.  This was a few months ago, so I'm not
sure I'm remembering all the steps, but I think I used pkg_delete to get
rid of all the XFree-*-4.3 ports, and then reinstalled 4.2 from package
files, then ran pkgdb -F to fix all the dependency issues.  It was a pain,
but not that much of a pain.
