I'm still at 5.0.1. I'm going to skip 5.0.2. and directly to 5.1, when
released.

That sounds like it must be the same thing.

Will just the libraries suffice or would I need to move the headers as
well? I'm trying the former now; I still had my work files so a make
command will just continue where it left off and re-try the link that
failed. 

In fact, that has finished by now, and the resulting binary indeed uses
the pkgsrc version of the library, even if I put the old ones back in
/usr/X11R7/lib. I'll try actually running it later when I'm in front of
X.

Fortunately I do my compiling in a pkg_comp sandbox, so moving aside
libraries won't hurt the running system. I can leave them moved aside,
too, if that is better for future builds.
