Look at the bottom of xorg.mk:

.for pkg in ${BUILDLINK_TREE:N-*:Nx11-links:O:u}
IGNORE_PKG.${pkg}=      yes
.  if defined(USE_BUILTIN.${pkg}) && \
      !empty(USE_BUILTIN.${pkg}:M[yY][eE][sS])
.    if exists(${FILESDIR}/xorg.${pkg})
FILES_LIST+=            ${FILESDIR}/xorg.${pkg}
.    elif exists(${FILESDIR}/xfree.${pkg})
FILES_LIST+=            ${FILESDIR}/xfree.${pkg}
.    endif
.  endif
.endfor

That depends on the version provided by the native Xorg compared to
the version requested by the package that's pulling it in.
