Yep, because /usr/X11R6 still exists. Try running the mergebase.sh script
at /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh. My guess is that in the past
you began the upgrade path from 6.9 to 7.x but didn't quite finish the
procedure (note that is very much a guess). You should probably read
through the script before you run it, just in case your system isn't
set up as it expects.

Depends very much on what you have installed - pkg_info(1)'s -r and -R
options will help you to build up an overview of what you need to=20
remove/update, if mergebase doesn't work. It's a good idea to save a list
of currently-installed ports to refer to in the event this all goes *pop*.
Good luck!
