The simple solution to this is to not use the -r or -R switch with
portupgrade.  :)  Just use "portupgrade firefox" and it won't try to
upgrade Xorg on you.

I have yet to see a simple "portupgrade <portname>" try to upgrade
anything other than <portname>.

I've been using Xorg 6.8.1 since a week after it hit the ports tree. 
First on 5.3-RELEASE and then on 6-CURRENT (same laptop).  No problems
here.
