This depends on how you updated it. I could guess you used
freebsd-update at some point, but only you can know for sure.

Nothing wrong with it, that's not what I meant.

To check which version of FreeBSD you are using should be possible with
freebsd-version(1), check it's man page, I'm not using stable versions,
only releases and current, and I'm not sure what the output is on stable.

Migrating from quarterly to latest is done by configuring pkg, you
should read the full pkg.conf(5) man page. The EXAMPLES section has
examples clearly explaining what you are asking for.

> I'll see if I'm in latest and reinstall all with pkg

This all depends on what you did on your system, any suggestion can only
be generic. You need to know your system condition.

You stated that you mixed binary packages installed via pkg from the
official repositories with locally built ports. As I said this is not
really supported, and if you only compiled locally part of Xorg and
mixed it with quarterly packages you have an high risk of having
inconsistent binaries on your system.

Check your logs for useful errors.
