Okay thanks very much, that advice got me a little further along in the process...BUT
and why does everyone always have to have a big BUT....
I got the libdrm updated and then tried to build xorg again. It crashed again on dri, so I did a
rm -rf /usr/ports/*/*/work/
and then tried it again. The build of xorg then comleted after about 30 minutes. But when I tried to startx it crashed. There was something in the error messages about my /etc/X11/xorg.conf so I erased it as well as my /root/xorg.conf.new and then did
Xorg -configure
I was then able to startx but there is no window manger running. I was running the old xterm with the little green and white windows....I know I'm a real simpleton but I kind of like that simple little interface and was going to wait until I got some other things up and running before moving to Gnome or KDE or another window manager.
So can you please help me with what I need to do to assign a window manager to run when startx is run? Thanks again. Your assistance is appreciated.

Your libdrm is out of date. Please update ports/graphics/libdrm and
try again.
