Did you read the documentation link I sent?  If so, you'll see that
the stable sources are for the OS.  They do not include the ports
collection.  You need two supfiles, or to specify both tags and both
collections.  Please, for your own sake, see:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

and

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html

That doesn't get you the updated ports.

Yes, you can take care of this by:

cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 && make install clean
