Yes, I have the nvidia driver installed. I used pkg_delete to remove 
nvidia-driver. I already had the latest xterm installed.
I was now able to install xorg-clients. Finally, I re-installed 
nvidia-driver and now everything is back to normal.

For future reference, who do I blame for the broken ports? nvidia or 
xorg-client?

Bob
