    The simple solution to this is to not use the -r or -R switch with
    portupgrade. :) Just use "portupgrade firefox" and it won't try to
    upgrade Xorg on you.

    I have yet to see a simple "portupgrade <portname>" try to upgrade
    anything other than <portname>.

    I've been using Xorg 6.8.1 since a week after it hit the ports tree.
    First on 5.3-RELEASE and then on 6-CURRENT (same laptop). No problems
    here.
