A short rc script can be added to both -libraries ports (as they are the first 
in X11 dependencies so we get the script as soon as possible) as a temporary 
transition workaround. If the __FreeBSD_version is bumped at time when 
cleartmp is updated, we can install it based on that. And by short I mean 
something like this:

/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/000.ICEtmp.sh:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
rm -fr /tmp/.ICE-unix
mkdir -m 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hm, I don't know if that would be OK, but given the shortness of this and that 
the versions of X.Org/XFree86 in last releases are not so strict about this, 
this could be put into UPDATING and avoid putting two scripts in ports, but I 
don't know if this is acceptable.
