If you used portupgrade to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2, it won't do it
completely. The port checks for files that exist in 4.1 and thus doesn't
install required 4.2 equivalent version. What I had to do was to pkg_delete
XFree88-4.1 and then install 4.2 from the ports. I suspect that the best
thing for you to do is to manually install:

	x11/XFree86-4-clients
    x11/XFree86-4-documents
	x11-fonts/XFree86-4-font100dpi
	x11-fonts/XFree86-4-font75dpi
	x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontCyrillic
	x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontDefaultBitmaps
	x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable
	x11-servers/XFree86-4-FontServer
	x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server

which got missed.
