Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
Removing /var/db/pkg/xorg-drivers-7.3 worked, the "make config &&
portupgrade -f xorg-drivers" method gave me the same error message
as before.

However I don't really understand why this prefix thing shows up
well after the upgrade from 6.9 to 7.2. Perhaps I cvsup'd at a bad
time.
