I bumped all ports that required changes (had dependencies removed or needed other fixes) as I went along. I also have had no problems when using packages after the removals. Are you saying there are ports with hidden (undeclared) dependencies that need bumping? At least mate-screensaver was bumped when I removed the dependency on libXxf86misc, and xset was also bumped with the removal of liXfontcache. How are you building your ports?
