hi,

Depending on your setup it might be a good idea to remove All the ports 
installed and check /usr/local ( i guess /usr/X11R6 is already a symlink ) 
for orphaned files that might get in the way of a new install. 

To speed up the initial install of xorg you could use binary packages and if 
you feel like it recompile after from ports... at least you will have X 
working in the meantime.
