Then there shouldn't be any problem.

Exactly what that paragraph says. I've read your first
email message again and I'm still unable to find out
what your actual problem is. What exactly is unclear
to you, or what part of the update failed for you?
(Please paste the error message if you got one.)

There is a deadly embrace.
The /usr/src/UPDATING says I am going to miss out if I
don't have the meta port installed (which I currently don't), but when I
try to install
the meta port it tells me I should use portupgrade to upgrade Xorg, but
the /usr/src/UPDATING
which talks about using portupgrade says I am going to miss out if I
don't have the meta
port installed (which I currently don't), but when I try to install the
meta port it tells me I
should use portupgrade to upgrade Xorg, but.... ad infinitum!
