did you do a xorg-server rebuild after (from UPDATING):

20070930:
        The PCI code has been made aware of PCI domains. This means that
        the location strings as used by pciconf(8) etc are now in the
        following format: pci<domain>:<bus>:<device>[:<function>]. It
        also means that consumers of <sys/pciio.h> potentially need to
        be recompiled; this includes the hal and xorg-server ports.
