Actually I'm ashamed to say it didn't occur to me to look at that... :S

Me either- I'm afraid my brain happened to be on suspend mode at the
time :D

I did an elaborate search on google and found a reference to try
portupgrade -a -rf libxcb so I'm in the middle of that (which seems to
be working- fingers crossed), and having just read UPDATING I found a
reference to use portupgrade -rf. Therefore, given my current
circumstances, the cmd I've given could very well work- I hope! :) I'll
post back if it doesn't...
