Well, it's been a long time since I did it, but I believe this should work:

As someone else here suggested, the key is to avoid the 'xorg' target,
which is just a metaport that installs all the individual xorg ports:

RUN_DEPENDS=    xvinfo:${PORTSDIR}/x11/xorg-clients
                ${X11BASE}/share/doc/X11/ddx.txt:${PORTSDIR}/x11/xorg-documents
                ${FONT100DPI}:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-100dpi
                ${FONT75DPI}:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-75dpi
                ${FONTCYR}:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-cyrillic
                ${FONTDEFAULT}:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps
                ${FONTTT}:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype
                ${FONTT1}:${PORTSDIR}/x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-type1
                ${X11BASE}/bin/Xorg:${PORTSDIR}/x11-servers/xorg-server
                ${X11BASE}/bin/xfs:${PORTSDIR}/x11-servers/xorg-fontserver
                ${X11BASE}/bin/Xnest:${PORTSDIR}/x11-servers/xorg-nestserver
                ${X11BASE}/bin/Xvfb:${PORTSDIR}/x11-servers/xorg-vfbserver
                ${X11BASE}/bin/Xprt:${PORTSDIR}/x11-servers/xorg-printserver

If you will go through the separate installation of each of the above ports
you should be all set.  If you have trouble with any of the individual ports,
that is a different story...
