If you do it that way you still need to follow most of the
instructions for upgrading. IIRC anything dependent on any of xorg was
version bumped so it would get rebuilt by "portupgrade -a", xorg itself
was a small part of the upgrade for me. Even if you delete all ports,
you still need to run the mergebase script.

Note that the then development version of portupgrade is now the
mainstream one, so there is no need to switch.
