It's tempting; I thought of it but disregarded it because:

A) No rehash is necessary to fix it, just do "make install" again.
B) Wouldn't it fail on *all* just-built dependencies instead of a few?
C) I can't believe the ports scripts would use csh rather than sh.

The xorg upgrade mergebase.sh was run at some point, but that doesn't 
seem likely either.
