Stupid question, but you did run these as root?  I followed this same 
procedure and remember no hitches.  Even upgraded gnome as well, and 
everything came back working.  Clutching at straws, have you cvsup-ed 
your ports?  Does pkgdb -F run cleanly?  Does pkg_info show anything 
unexpected as being installed (such as imake or XFree)?
