I had to do the same thing - 4.3 hosed my system good, and I had to go back to 4.2.x if I wanted a GUI. This was a few months ago, so I'm not sure I'm remembering all the steps, but I think I used pkg_delete to get rid of all the XFree-*-4.3 ports, and then reinstalled 4.2 from package files, then ran pkgdb -F to fix all the dependency issues. It was a pain, but not that much of a pain. -- David Fleck david.fleck@mchsi.com
