First of all, your question is about ports, so it should have been
directed to the freebsd-ports@ list, FYI.

I think you are overthinking this, and it didn't help that the only
advice you got was to re-read the instructions.

You want to first upgrade your existing ports, then you should install
/usr/ports/x11/xorg to make sure you have all the components.

If you don't want to use portupgrade to do the update, there are other
alternatives, including using portmaster. Take a look at

hth,

Doug
