Hmm... how might one know that a given driver is out of date? As long
as I can do so without loss of functionality, I'll happily reduce the
number of installed ports.... :-}

Right. The others would have been automagically installed from
installing the x11/xorg meta-port with minimal changes from the default
options.
I'm trying to be at least reasonable about keeping things up-to-date;
how might I take appropriate evasive action to reduce the probability of
a recurrence of this sort of thing?
Thanks again -- being stuck with a handful of vtys was crampiing my
style.... :-}
Peace,
