The submitter replied in private that this was not the real problem: the real problem with the XFree86-4 port is that packages still register a dependency on XFree86-4-libraries. Then, when the package is removed or updated, pkg_delete/portupdate/whatever fails to find the XFree86-4-libraries port, and complains benignly.
