Recovering from not reading /usr/ports/UPDATING is in this case quite a
bit harder. The method is basically:
1) pkg_delete <port that links with old libxcb>
2) portmaster <failing port's origin>
3) portmaster -r libxcb
4) goto 1 if more failures

Also, you may want to read up on pkg_updating pcre, cause that one's
even harder to recover from as some ports do braindead things as linking
to it's old version library during compilation (avahi-*).
