One failure so far:

x11/nvidia-driver causes failures by installing its driver *as*
${X11BASE}/lib/modules/drivers instead of *in* that directory if the
directory doesn't exist. If you use the Nvidia driver, you should
manually mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers before upgrading. This is
fixed in git.

On a related note; a friend had trouble upgrading with lots of GL- related failures. We found on the ModularXorg wiki page that you should sets WITH_NVIDIA_GL before upgrading if you want to use the nvidia driver. I have added this to Edwin's amended update instructions at

http://wiki.freebsd.org/XorgUpgradeCorrected

I hope it's correct.
