I did the same thing for the same reason last week and got the same error. 
The problem was caused by stale files on my system.

Explicitly installing /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries before installing
/usr/ports/x11/xorg did the trick.

This error was just the first in a series of problems caused by stale 
files, but I fought my way through the installation process and now have 
xorg running with the latest nvidia drivers so now my video card works and 
I'm happy.  :)
