Just for the record and for those who might have a similar problem -
what I ended up doing is:
$ pkg_deinstall compositeext fixesext xextensions
$ portupgrade -f '*proto-*'

After that everything became all right.
Maybe I had this problem only because I was an early adopter of xorg 7.2
through the git repository, and maybe those who started using xorg 7.2
after the merge to the ports tree do not have this problem.

Anyway, I think that the three ports in pkg_deinstall command above
should be removed from our ports entirely as they all were superseded by
other ports (*proto).
