It did for me.  There is an error in the pkgsrc/graphics/Mesa/Makefile
that says "CONFLICT=" instead of "CONFLICTS=" which will cause things
that depend on 'Mesa-*' to re-install Mesa (software only) over top of
your Mesa-glx-* package.

What could be happening is you install Mesa-glx-tnt-*, and then build/install
xlockmore, which causes the Mesa-3.0 to be installed.  Your end result is
software GL again. :)

On my system 'xlock -modelist allgl +sequential' is very fast and nice.
