If you use portupgrade (or otherwise deinstall the old XFree86-Server)
when upgrading from XFree86-Server-4.3.0_6 or less directly to _8, you
will lose the libXfont.* files, due to a mistake in packaging in 4.3.0_6
and earlier.  If you had updated to 4.3.0_7 in between, you're fine.  If
you find your libXfont.* files are missing, reinstall
XFree86-4-libraries.

I have a fix for the package building of XFree86-4-Server from clean
installs, which I'm testing now.
