6.2 AMD64 Ports Problem

Thats weird. When I updated using cvsup it updated all of the ports in my
/usr/ports directory. I then ran "make install" on /usr/ports/x11/xorg, it then
looks for dri-7.0.1,2.tbz, but that file isn't in
amd64/packages-6.2-release/latest or amd64/packages-6.2-release/graphics/. It is
only in the packages-7-release/graphics directory. 
Why would xorg require a app that isn't in my current build? How do I get around
it if I cant use the packages-7-release files?

Thanks for you help
