That works on December 1st, I'm not certain about the current date yet.

Further info, on December 1st /usr/ports/graphics/dri is the correct dri
for XFree86-4.  I have all of this running on a AMD450 so it is a bit 
slow, my guess is I'll have solid answers in about 4 hours and the 
quick fix will probably be to de-install graphics/xfree86-dri then run 
portmanager -u.
