What I've been doing is: rm -rf /usr/X11R6; ln -s /usr/pkg/xorg /usr/X11R6

Some oddness results, but it mostly just works. I have to run xfce4 as
root, quit, chown ~/.ICEauthority and ~/.fonts.cache-1, and then start
up xfce4 as myself to get it to run, but I'm not sure what I've screwed
up there. It might not be due to my xorg trickery.
