Hi folks,

thanks a lot.

For the records:

Eventually, I downloaded xorg-server-21.1.7 (fetch https://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/xserver/xorg-server-21.1.7.tar.xz) and changed Makefile and distinfo of the 21.1.4 port accordingly.

I checked only for FLAVOR=xvfb, although it also builds xorg-server without errors when you forget the FLAVOR.
And luckily the port built and reinstalled xorg-vfbserver without problems.
