You need Mesa anyway, because USE_MESA (perhaps incorrectly) results in a dependency on GLU.1, which XFree86 4 doesn't have. Another bug in the XFree86 4 support: ports that need X depend on the XFree86-4-libraries port. If you installed the XFree86-4 port instead, you don't need (or want) that port, but packages that need X will require it, and install it unless you specifically ask pkg_add not to install dependencies (in which case you have to install all the *other* dependencies manually...) The (apparent) solution is to have the XFree86-4 port register empty packages for all the components it installs that have a separate port.
