yes. yes - read /usr/ports/UPDATING, the entry about the Xorg 7.2 -> 7.3
update.
Basically, you might have to deinstall and reinstall any (all) ports
that are misbehaving.

It says:

X.org ports were updated to 7.3. Since we're now using the modular
build, the upgrade is pretty much painless. If you're using the
x11/xorg meta-port, upgrade should be as easy as:

# portupgrade -R xorg

That's basically what I did. Perhaps you are confusing it with the
previous upgrade which required special handling due to all the
dependencies.

I reinstalled Firefox and Acrobat, didn't help.

When was the last time you updated the ports tree?

About 15 minutes ago. In particular, I always do a cvsup before trying
a portupgrade.
