The problem was caused by stale files on my system. Explicitly installing /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries before installing /usr/ports/x11/xorg did the trick. This error was just the first in a series of problems caused by stale files, but I fought my way through the installation process and now have xorg running with the latest nvidia drivers so now my video card works and I'm happy. :)
