Well since you asked ... :)  The -f is not necessary there, -a is
sufficient. In fact if you wanted to do things more incrementally
'portmaster -D xorg' would be another way to go.

In any case, it brings me a great deal of joy to hear not only that so
many people are using portmaster, but also that these upgrades are going
smoothly, as did mine. I think the x11@ guys deserve a round of applause
for making this the least painful "X major version upgrade" in recent
memory.
