Well, if a port would break because of outdated dependency, you can always ask on mailing lists :) Xorg (and XFree86 for that matter) ports will work best and sometimes require other xorg- ports (and imake) of the same version. Fortunately there are also tools to aid with upgrading dependency chains: You can use sysutils/portupgrade utility which is a great help with that. Should you choose to use it upgrading xorg-clients for example would be as easy as portupgrade -R xorg-clients and installing could be done with something like portinstall -R xorg-clients I hope this helps somewhat.
