You don't need to recompile _all_ the packages. I installed an anoncvs
checkout build of 4.0.1 on top of 1.5 /usr/X11R6 with only minor
confusion due to the fact that 4.0.x includes "xpm" and "GL" libs
which are otherwise provided by pkgsrc. So if you pkg_delete -r "xpm"
and "Mesa" first, everything should work flawlessly.

The "xpm" thing is only due to the way the package system records
dependencies. The included xpm-3.4k is actually identical to the
package version. It's even possible to doctor /var/db/pkg so that you
don't have to rebuild xpm and the packages that depend on it.
