I didn't have to do anything but pkg_delete -r "XFree86*". Since everything that used it was for version 3.3.6, I had to reinstall everything. The other gotcha is leaving the version 3 /etc/XF86Config. I had to rename it before it would start and configure properly. Since you are getting qt-3.0.5_1 as broken, you may have XFREE86_VERSION set to version 3 in make.conf.
