Yes, Stacey, that worked for me, too. For the record, neither portupgrade or portmanager did the trick. What worked was editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf to comment out the line in Section "Module" that says 'Load "dri"', like so:
Section "Module" ... # Load "dri" ...

After some time spent hunting around for answers, I found a thread that suggested that Xorg-6.9 broke DRI (certainly for the graphics card on the T43). Disabling DRI in xorg.conf then enabled me to use startx successfully thereafter., Might be worth a shot for you too.
