Creating the /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/local symlink is necessary, even on a
system with xorg 7.2 installed from scratch.  The presence of that
symlink will stop the xorg-libraries port whinging at you.  

There are a couple of other bits that need twiddling in the default
system, and a very handy way of getting them all to happen is by 
running mergebase.sh.  On a completely virgin newly instaleld system,
with /usr/ports populated, but no ports yet installed you may need
to:

    mkdir /usr/X11R6

to give that script something to chew on, and then just:

    sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh

before proceeding to install whatever ports you want.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
