There should be a more elegant way to do this, but the way I did it
was to:

# pkg_delete -f xf86-video-i810-1.7.4
# cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xorg-drivers
# make rmconfig
# make config
[untick i180 and tick intel]
# portupgrade -f xorg-drivers

I followed your instructions but still doesnt work.

Now, all this is really disappointing. Would you suggest I reinstall
FreeBSD 6.3? Perhaps I reinstall it without choosing Xorg during
sysinstall and then install it later through package or port?

A reinstallation of 6.3 wouldn't really solve anything, as your
problem isn't with the base system; it's with XOrg. Could you repost
the results of your latest /var/log/XOrg.log with the new "intel"
video driver? You may have to submit its contents to XOrg for a better
diagnosis.

Cheers.
