It's just an interim patch, not part of the xorg-server port.  After 
seeing that xorg will be switching to libpciaccess (probably/possibly in 
xorg 7.4), I asked for the bug report to be closed.

However, the patch file will hang around in the port files dir 
(cvsup/csup won't delete it), so it'll have to be removed when the 
xorg-server port changes.
