Why not just create a new xorg-server177 or xorg-server-devel port as has been done with other ports? Assuming no other dependencies, or at least a clear list of what to rebuild in the pkg-message, it would allow people to test the new xorg-server and easily revert to the old one if needed. Mesa, too... and what was the other port talked about recently... libdrm?
