Yes.  If you move to modular, you should rebuild any package that
depends on X.

I use ccache, and then do "pkg_admin set rebuild=YES \*" followed by
pkg_rolling-replace, when doing this.   The pkg_rr man page has an
example command to only mark x11-depending packages for rebuild.

I am not a nouveau expert.  I'm running the Xorg from the base system in
netbsd-8, but I basically use emacs and xterm, so haven't worried about
accelearation.

Are you running netbsd-8?  If older, definitely upgrade.
