Yes, Stacey, that worked for me, too.
For the record, neither portupgrade or portmanager did the trick. What
worked was editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf to comment out the line in Section
"Module" that says 'Load "dri"', like so:
Section "Module"
...
# Load "dri"
...
EndSection
Thank you for your assistance, Stacey! :D

For me on my IBM T43, updating to Xorg-6.9 broke X as well. After some
time spent hunting around for answers, I found a thread that suggested
that Xorg-6.9 broke DRI (certainly for the graphics card on the T43).
Disabling DRI in xorg.conf then enabled me to use startx successfully
thereafter., Might be worth a shot for you too.
