Yes, but of course it said XFree86 was not installed, so it couldn't be upgraded. Thus I have to use # portinstall -R which is equivalent to # portupgrade -NR To get something running I installed XFree86 from my 4.7-RELEASE CD. I also tried to upgrade this and was left with a dysfunctional XFree86 System (some modules and fonts couldn't be found). So I just stay with the 4.7 installation and hope to get gnome2 working somehow.
