Likewise, using portupgrade to upgrade from xorg-6.7.0 to xorg-6.7.0_1:

===>   xorg-6.7.0_1 depends on file:
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so - not found
===>    Verifying reinstall for /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so
in /usr/ports/graphics/dri
===>  dri-5.0.2,1 is only for i386 alpha, and you are running amd64.
*** Error code 1
