In my experience, you can delete it, though you'll find little things 
all over that need fixing, such as having to specify XauthLocation in /
etc/ssh/ssh*config.  You'll also have to rebuild all of your X-using 
packages, and set X11_TYPE=xorg in mk.conf.  I found that acroread 
wouldn't work until I did some weird stuff.  Etc.  You can always 
create a symlink /usr/X11R6 pointing to /usr/pkg/xorg.
