Make sure /usr/pkg/xorg/bin is in your PATH.  Remove /usr/X11R6/bin
from your PATH.  Add

	xorg            /usr/pkg/xorg/man/

to /etc/man.conf.  Add

	XAuthLocation       /usr/pkg/xorg/bin/xauth

to /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config if your forward X in
either direction.  And the big one: create a proper /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file.  (All but this last can be bypassed if you make /usr/X11R6 a
symlink to /usr/pkg/xorg, but updates from source (I don't know about
upgrades via the normal path; I've only done this on -current systems)
create a skeleton /usr/X11R6 tree.)
