I'm trying to update my ports and have had numerous errors surrounding
the update of the xorg package. I was able to work through most of
them (I think), following comments in UPDATING and online, but I
still have an issue when it tries to remove the current version
(xorg-7.2) and install the new version:
# portupgrade -a
---> Upgrading 'xorg-7.2' to 'xorg-7.4_2' (x11/xorg)
---> Building '/usr/ports/x11/xorg'
===> Cleaning for xorg-7.4_2
This is a meta-port, meaning that it just depends on its subparts of the
port.
It won't build and install all the parts until you have typed make install
This port does not ensure things are upgraded; use portupgrade if you want
to
upgrade X.Org. If you simply type 'make install' it may use over 2GB to
build
all of the subports. You can install the ports singly if you are low on
space.

** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)

trying to uninstall with pkg_delete directly also fails:
# pkg_delete xorg-7.2
pkg_delete: package 'xorg-7.2' doesn't have a prefix
(I had earlier touched a few files in the pkg db directory for
+COMMENT and such to get past other "tar" errors in portupgrade,
but other than that, this is mostly "normal" port stuff. I installed
with ports, I updated with ports, etc).
