This problem is mostly visible when having Gnome/xorg modular installed,
as if so, a buch of ports are getting installed.

I think the ports/package managment in FreeBSD is not very scalable in
this sense. This has nothing to do with xorg.

Maybe this motivates some change in the port system. Working with
~20'000 software is not very easy.

good luck!
