The /usr/src/UPDATING says I am going to miss out if I don't have the meta port installed (which I currently don't), but when I try to install the meta port it tells me I should use portupgrade to upgrade Xorg, but the /usr/src/UPDATING which talks about using portupgrade says I am going to miss out if I don't have the meta port installed (which I currently don't), but when I try to install the meta port it tells me I should use portupgrade to upgrade Xorg, but.... ad infinitum!
