OK.  They didn't work for me.

I added X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} to /etc/make.conf.

I then tried to upgrade.

I chose not to use BATCH=yes, because I prefer to see what's being 
upgraded and elect whether to upgrade an individual port or not.  I chose 
not use use portupgrade-devel.  I use bash so I set "export XORG_UPGRADE 
yes" in my shell.  I tried portupgrade -Rf libXft, and I got an error 
message that libXft was not installed.  I don't have gstreamer installed, 
so I then ran portupgrade -a.  I got a indexing error message and was 
prompted to run pkgdb -F to fix it.  After I realized I was cancelling 
individual xorg ports (selecting not to install them), I switched to pkgdb 
-L and installed all the missing dependencies.

Afterward portupgrade -ai worked fine except for the php problem.

I then ran pkg_delete xorg-manpages, but they weren't installed.  Then I 
ran mergebase.sh.  Afterwards I checked to make sure that /usr/X11R6 was a 
symlink to /usr/local.

I don't have the xorg meta-port installed, because this is a headless 
internet server.

This is what is installed now:
pkg_info -a | grep xorg | sort -u
