Yes.

There are POLA violations whatever is done:

If X11R6 references are removed then anyone who hasn't upgraded to xorg
7.2 will lose any X-related startup/libs/manpages/...

If you upgrade to xorg 7.2 but don't cleanup the /etc files then rc.d
and periodic scripts are processe twice.  (I was getting warned about
ports with security problems twice).

Possibly mergebase.sh needs to do more fixup itself or include a bigger
warning.
