Stupid question, but you did run these as root? I followed this same
procedure and remember no hitches. Even upgraded gnome as well, and
everything came back working. Clutching at straws, have you cvsup-ed
your ports? Does pkgdb -F run cleanly? Does pkg_info show anything
unexpected as being installed (such as imake or XFree)?
