Without knowing all the details about the xorg ports, there is as far as
I can remember problems with updating the intel drivers (amongst others)
since they require kernel features we do not yet have. If you have
tested this driver to build and run and work with the current xorg in
ports, then it might work. If not, you have to wait for the KMS work to
be finished, or test it yourself together with the xorg-dev repository.
I think you'll find the details about this here on the list and on the wiki.
Regards!
