So it apparently should be..

According to the instructions:

  Unfortunately portupgrade (nor portupgrade-devel) cannot yet handle
   the rigors of the xorg upgrade without a small bit of help:

   # portupgrade -Rf libXft

results in:

** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
         * x11/xorg-libraries (xorg-libraries-7.2_1)
--->  Packages processed: 112 done, 47 ignored, 1 skipped and 0 failed

So I guess I'm gonna do a clean install of all of X....but can you tell 
me which packages I should remove exactly?
