mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6-3 is *much* quicker and just as safe. Afterwards
you can swap by 'mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6-4; mv /usr/X11R6-3 /usr/X11R6' and
vice-versa (you will have to mess with /etc/XF86Config similarly). Assuming of
course you have enough space, which these days seems likely.

Also do not forget to rebuild all your X based ports. You have just
deleted them without updating /var/db/pkg so things will be a little messy
in the pkg tools until you rebuild them all.
