I look further and see that you need a slightly different ports tree:

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports-graphics.git

but I think you need to put -b xserver-next at the end of the git command (and git at the beginning).

Then such a FreeBSD installation would have to be separate from an installation that uses regular src tree and ports tree, lest the ABI and shared libraries be out of sync.
