As I said, I just did a quick trawl of google late yesterday (like 2am) 
and haven't followed up.  I don't *know* that it's relevant but it looks 
like the same error to me.  It's not unknown for errors which have been 
fixed to come crawling back out of the woodwork, so maybe it was fixed 
once and just came back.  That's something the port maintainers would 
have to speak to, though!  I actually have no idea that the problem 
didn't exist since Jan, since I think I installed nvidia-driver after 
xorg-clients, so wouldn't have seen the problem.

Glad the portdowngrade worked for you.  I would just leave those two 
ports alone for a while until you either see something on this list, or 
see them being updated through cvsup (or check the ports changes page on 
the freebsd web site every now and again).  Or just try upgrading 
xorg-clients again in a week.  If it doesn't fail, then upgrade xterm.  
If it does fail, it doesn't matter and try again a week later!
