You must have xorg-7.2 meta-port installed.

If you worry about the disk space or speed of the new Xorg (on an older
machine), I confirm that Xorg-7.2 is _amazingly_ faster than 6.9;
and this is especially visible on older hardware. In general, startup
time of GTK applications in up to 30-50% shorter, and things like video
playback are incredibly improved.

So, you don't need to cut anything. Just update your working system
according to /usr/ports/UPDATING. If you want to save disk space
(during compilling), use 'portupgrade -aP'.=20
