This is weird. When I look here:
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/new_xorg/All/

…I see a "xorg-server-1.12.4_8,1.txz" package. It should be picked up 
automatically when doing "pkg upgrade".

WITH_PKGNG=yes should be the default now. I think even WITH_NEW_XORG=yes 
is now the default when building manually. Trying won't hurt :)

I don't think the old one should be disabled. The "new_xorg" repo only 
contains updated packages related to X. For other packages, the other 
repo is still used.
