As usual with such upgrades, pkg_libchk is your friend. Assuming you have
updated pixman:
portmaster graphics/libGL graphics/dri
pkg_libchk -o | grep pixman | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq > pixman-files.txt
portmaster =D `cat pixman-files.txt`
portmaster -aD
portmaster -y -clean-distfiles

This will do the job much more quickly than "portmaster -r pixman
