My apologies.  Let me say it again.

I am making xorg-7.2 completely from scratch (i.e. no old ports 
whatsoever) using make install.
1.  you have to make libXft before making xorg.
2.  you need to do "setenv XORG_UPGRADE yes", even though the latter 
apparently should not be needed if you are not upgrading.
