On a related note; a friend had trouble upgrading with lots of GL- 
related failures.  We found on the ModularXorg wiki page that you  
should sets WITH_NVIDIA_GL before upgrading if you want to use the  
nvidia driver.  I have added this to Edwin's amended update  
instructions at

http://wiki.freebsd.org/XorgUpgradeCorrected

I hope it's correct.
