Hrrmm... come to think of it, I think that the problem actually amounted to the ports not being able to register after installation was done. In other words, (IIRC) after they were built and installed ports that depended on X were unable to insert their +REQUIRED_BY entries, so this would not constitute "broken." However, I'm a bit fuzzy on it, and I'm very tired so I'm not sure. If I find anything odd I'll report it.
