    If it's a clean install of X11 / complete system, you can get away 
with doing the standard make install in the ports directories you want. 
The only thing that you need to do is export / setenv XORG_UPGRADE=yes 
like UPDATING states.
    For upgrades, yeah stick with a supported tool (currently only 
portupgrade-devel and portmaster I believe).
