Sorry, I've read the UPDATING entry about X.org 7.2 upgrade (I didn't
read it since I wasn't _updating_) and it appears I should
% ln -sf /usr/local /usr/X11R6

Sorry for the noise.  But I think this should be fixed for people who
are only installing X.org 7.2 from scratch, but I don't really see the
correct way to achieve this using the standard FreeBSD update tools.
