I did make clean first and tried several things.  The strange thing is
that I think that it didn't remove cleanly for some reason (I used
pkg_deinstall -fP).  Is there a way to force a rebuild/reinstall of
all of xorg-7.2 using the meta-port (i.e. /usr/ports/x11/xorg) ?
Because if I try that now, it just does this:
# make all install clean
This is a meta-port, meaning that it just depends on its subparts of the port.
It won't build and install all the parts until you have typed make install
This port does not ensure things are upgraded; use portupgrade if you want to
upgrade X.Org.  If you simply type 'make install' it may use over 2GB to build
all of the subports.  You can install the ports singly if you are low on space.

So basically I just wind up with xorg-7.2 in the pkgdb, but the rest
of the ports like xorg-apps, xf86-driver-*, etc. are all missing since
they have been removed.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
