Has anyone managed to get xorg to compile recently?

I have done it several times lately. I found that some packages that I had 
built for use in a slower computer were old and not current, so, I did a 
portupgrade -pfR xorg. Portupgrade had no problem with the dependancy build. 
I had also done a "-pfr jpeg", a "-pfr perl",  and a "-pfr python". The perl 
update to .10 fixed a sticky problem that had just developed with kde. It was 
acting like there was glue between the keyboard and the system. It was a nice 
side effect :). The upgrade to tidy caused more trouble than all of the 
others combined. The port system still points to the old version of tidy but 
pkgdb will fix the links. In this process, I had to use pkgdb -L to get the 
links back and -F to fix things. Doing an forced update from packages would 
add both versions of tidy to my system. I did the pkgdb thing so many times 
before I figured out that I had to manually build tidy that I don't remember 
the order they were done in.

I think I also used "portmanager -s" to tell me of ports that had old links. 
When I got through things worked much better :).
