portupgrade question (failed updates)

portupdate xorg-server

The last couple of days I've been running portupgrade -av and am to the point where I'd like to move onto something else, but there is one package that won't upgrade . . . xorg-server. As you can see below, it claims that there is a missing header and there are a fair amount of reported errors. I'm
