Hi Zbigniew,
yeah...one of those nits that I dont think it's properly explained. From my own
experience and discussion in ports@ :

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2007-May/041207.html

1)Bypass the dependency altogether: php5-gd itself is not the problem, but
rather libgd, with XPM support enabled (I haven't confirmed it , but it makes
perfect sense).

2) Let the ports tree know you are ready to use 7.2 (even if you never had 6.9
and (my) common sense  says it should install 7.2 anyway) : As
per /usr/ports/UPDATING, set XORG_UPGRADE , and follow the upgrade steps,
including the rebase.sh script. clean xorg-libraries and install that by itself
first (make sure XORG_UPGRADE is set in that session's env).
