Everything's modular now, so to avoid having a large X11 distro laying around, it's just better to build the necessary components. Besides, compiling x11/xorg will take more time and will be slower with 7.2 than with 6.8 (unless major performance enhancements were made between then and now), because of the shared lib loading and compiling / installing the components one by one.. The only catch is that it will take a little bit of time to find components if stuff is missing, but after you get all of the necessary parts installed for X.org 7.2, everything should be smooth sailing.
