Please quote a little context to identify the problem.  It's usually not 
necessary to throw out all the ports, or all the xorg ports.  If hal 
support is missing in xorg-server, just rebuilding xorg-server with the 
correct config should be enough.

If necessary (usually not), it won't help unless you

cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
make rmconfig-recursive
make config-recursive

And then rebuild, deinstall, and reinstall the appropriate ports. 
xorg-server for sure, maybe others.

But I would ask again: what, exactly, is the problem to be solved?
