missing pkg xorg-server in 10.0-RELEASE

[Daniel Herring]

Status update:  Potential user error on my end.

The pkg repo site may be pointed wrong.  The xorg-server files do exist...

http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release/0/All/
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/release/0/All/xorg-server-1.7.7_11,1.txz

http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release/0/All/
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release/0/All/xorg-server-1.7.7_11,1.txz

Will reboot and see if I can coax pkg to find them.
