Thanks very much!

If one has already upgraded to the xorg ports, what is
necessary so that dependencies of other modules are switched
to the xorg equivalents? That is, right now, every time I
upgrade a port that depends on X, I have to pkgdb -F and
change XFree86-fontScalable-4.3.0 to xorg-fonts-type1-6.7.0,
etc. etc. through all the different ports.
