I'm not sure, honestly, and can't check right away.  What version of Mesa
does the ports tree provide with WITH_NEW_XORG?  In the development tree,
WITH_NEW_XORG gives Mesa 8.0.x, which is too new for the r600 classic
driver.  In the development tree, not setting WITH_NEW_XORG gives Mesa 7.6,
which is apparently too old to include the r600 classic driver.

Last night I compiled Mesa 7.11.2, separate from the ports tree, and that
provided the r600 classic driver, which seems to work fine (tested with a
number of the Mesa demos).
