Here's what seems to work (in case anyone else is interested).

I went into the dir that contains installed packages and deleted the packages

cd /var/db/pkg
pkg_delete *

then downloaded cvsup-without-gui and updated port sources with cvsup, then:

cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
make
make install

so far, it seems to be working.... It may take a day or so to know for certain...

cheers
