xorg fails to install

Hello,
I am updating xorg following your instructions with portupgrade.

I had gstreamer so I used the -x 'gstreamer*' instructions ;
at this stage, most ports where uptodate except for xorg-server
that fails to install and some (non important) others (the ftp.gnu
server seems to have some problems lately as downloads freeze).

At this stage I decided that I had no actual interrest in gstreamer
related (at least for now) so I decided to pkg_delete gstreamer
(and the video ports that required it too).

I tried to make install xorg-server again (all the other xorg related
ports claim to be uptodate). But it failed. So I deinstalled it
and then proceed to your next instruction which is to merge /usr/X11R6
in /usr/local. I used the script without trouble.

Now you ask to install the main x11/xorg package. So I make it; no
problem. Then I make install and it fails with an error code 1.
You can have a look at the script of this attempt at
http://www.math.polytechnique.fr/~vigneron/pb.xorg

A make install of x11-server/xorg-server (which I am interested too)
seems to fail at the same point.

Thanks in advance.
