I would just compile x11-server/xorg-server and once it is done do a
pkg_delete on xorg-server-snap. Then install
xorg-server/xorg-server. What it is complaining about is
x11-servers/xorg-server-snap being marked as to be ignored, which it
should be now as it is a out of date snap shot of xorg-server from
some time back.
