Only if you didn't follow the directions (hint: /usr/X11R6 should be a

This and other things should be fixed over time, but there are
thousands of them in ports (including some binary applications that
would require a new build from the vendors) so it will be a multi-year
effort at best, and in practise probably something we'll have to carry
around forever.
