FWIW, I just had the same problem on -stable. In my case it turned 
out to be caused by the presence of the x11/nvidia-driver port. I 
worked around by 'portupgrade -f XFree86-4-libraries', 'portupgrade Mesa' 
and finally 'portupgrade nvidia-driver' (to get back the replacement 
libs). It seems to work OK now; I tried glxgears, Unreal and UT which 
all seem to run as before. 
I guess a 'pkg_delete nvidia-driver' would have done the job as well
instead of a forced XFree86-4-libraries reinstall.
