You need to define the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable like
mentioned in UPDATING. I think you have to define the variable even if
you didn't have xorg 6.9 before but I'm not sure.

2 cases:
1. you have xorg 6.9
Install the meta port (cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install
clean) if you don't have it yet, then run portupgrade like indicated in
UPDATING.
2. you don't have X installed yet
Just install the meta port.
