For right now if you want portupgrade to do anything with xorg you
need to export XORG_UPGRADE
Creating the /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/local symlink is necessary, even on a
system with xorg 7.2 installed from scratch. The presence of that
symlink will stop the xorg-libraries port whinging at you.
There are a couple of other bits that need twiddling in the default
system, and a very handy way of getting them all to happen is by
running mergebase.sh. On a completely virgin newly instaleld system,
with /usr/ports populated, but no ports yet installed you may need
to:
mkdir /usr/X11R6
to give that script something to chew on, and then just:
sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh
before proceeding to install whatever ports you want.

My experience is that simply having the symlink /usr/X11R6->/usr/local
is totally sufficient.
However it seems to me that what the port building procedure should now
do is the following:
* if /usr/X11R6 exists as a directory, it should issue an error message
like it does now.
* if /usr/X11R6 doesn't yet exist, silently create the symlink.
This will mirror how it used to behave, in that if /usr/local or
/usr/X11R6 did not exist, they would be created as needed.
