Xorg 7.3 Works Fine Now - But .. A Few More Questions

The patches we've been waiting for apparently made the ports tree and
we have joy on Xorg 7.3. I do have a couple of questions about stuff
that was happening prior to this (and still is).

When I to a portupgrade, I always see some grumbling about xorg-macros
no longer being in he ports tree. Can I safely pkg_delete these?

I also wonder if anyone has a workaround for this longstanding problem.
The only thing I've been able to do successfully is run the VESA driver
instead:
