I checked src/UPDATING and the freebsd-ports and
freebsd-current mailing lists.  There is no entry
or HEADSUP that states the new XFree86 4.3.0 port
has broken the ability to use the ports collections
on all FreeBSD systems with older versions of
XFree86-4 installed.  Perhaps, an entry in src/UPDATING
stating that FreeBSD Portmgr is dictating a mandatory
upgrade of XFree86-4 to 4.3.0 is in order.
