Here's how I installed the xorg-server and xlibs ports in place of thier 
XFree86 counterparts on my 5 box, thought somebody might find it useful.


**************************************************************

Make / Install ports:

/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server
/usr/ports/x11/xlibs

---------------------------------------
Change /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:

-LIB_DEPENDS+=   X11.6:${PORTSDIR}/x11/XFree86-4-libraries
+LIB_DEPENDS+=   X11.6:${PORTSDIR}/x11/xlibs

---------------------------------------
Add from existing XFree86-4.3.0 install:

/usr/X11R6/lib/libfntstubs.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXss.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libFS.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfontenc.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libdps.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfontcache.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXTrap.a

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/fonts/FSlib.h
/usr/X11R6/include/DPS/psops.h

---------------------------------------
Make / Install ports:

/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-clients
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/XFree86-4-font100dpi
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontDefaultBitmaps
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/XFree86-4-font75dpi
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/XFree86-fontScalable

---------------------------------------
I didn't feel like fucking with wrapper to make it use
xorg-server instead of XFree86 so instead:

chmod 4755 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg


---------------------------------------
Generate your conf file:

Xorg -configure
