Success.
Thanks for the help.
To recap,
I installed FreeBSD 6.1 from the subscription CD, cvsup, buildworld,
installworld to FreeBSD 6.2. I frequently updated the ports tree
while using the system and slowly adding ports.
After some confusion, I followed the procedure to upgrade xorg6.9 to
xorg 7.2. It was difficult.. I ripped out X and some of the using
ports with pkg-delete, reinstalled xorg6.9 from the 6.2 CD, and
finally got the ports tree clean enough to do the procedure.
Portupgrade -Rf libXft failed twice, needing help upgrading some
specific port and with pkgdb.
Portupgrade -a failed several times. I used portupgrade <some port> and
restarted portupgrade -a several times until it finally succeeded.
I ended up with a mostly empty /usr/X11R6 before the merge.
I started with 167 ports installed and ended with 355 installed ports!
Quite a bit of bloat. I have not looked into why. But, I have 80% or
the original ports updated. The other 20% may not be necessary.
Thanks for the code and help.
