Good idea.  I suspect that many of the problems could be avoided if I 
were to symlink /usr/X11R6 to /usr/pkg/xorg, but that's a bad idea -- 
I'm using xorg on -current machines, and often the upgrade process 
creates a new, minimally populated, /usr/X11R6, even if MKX11=NO is set.

In /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I had to set 

	XAuthLocation   /usr/pkg/xorg/bin/xauth

Acroread and other Linux emulation programs don't find xorg fonts.  I 
had to edit /usr/pkg/emul/linux/etc/fonts/local.conf and add

	<dir>/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
	<dir>/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts</dir>

right after the <fontconfig> line, then run 

	/usr/pkg/emul/linux/usr/bin/fc-cache

Those two entries fixed acroread and firefox-bin.  

Of course, I had to change my default $PATH setting.

Some situations are not properly tested with xorg.  The other day, for 
example, pkgsrc/x11/openmotif wouldn't build on xorg systems but would 
on XFree86 machines.  One can't, of course, expect people to test every 
such combination, but it's another example of having to do a bit more.

I seem to recall one other problem, but I can't recall what it was.
