18.5 Gigabytes! (are you sure that's not megabytes?)

Okay, that's a problem. Hopefully it's your main problem.

Since you only have bash and tcsh installed from ports/packages, I would 
hazard a very educated guess that it's safe to remove anything under 
/usr/X11R6. What's there is -probably- from installing XFree86-3.3.6 during 
main installation. This doesn't come from a package, so it's not listed in 
/var/db/pkg.

So... Cross your fingers and do:

rm -rf /usr/X11R6

Then go try to make install the XFree86-4 port.

You shouldn't have to change the installation path at all.
