This message is relevant to anyone using ports that until now

* xrender
The render port has been replaced with the xorg-renderproto port.
They are the same software; the latter is just a newer version. So
we are removing the render port.
If you use any of the above ports, you may find at your next update
that MacPorts wants to install xorg-renderproto but that it
conflicts with the render port:
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/
local/include/X11/extensions/render.h is being used by the active
render port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag
to force the activation.
What you should do if you get this message is forcibly uninstall the
render port and then activate the xorg-renderproto port.
sudo port -f uninstall render
sudo port activate xorg-renderproto
This is the ticket for these changes:

Sorry for the inconvenience!
In case anyone has the same problem that I did:
The above change also breaks cairo update. I was trying to figure it
out, and then saw this message. Just doing the change above change
fixes the problem.
In more detail: I had cairo 1.8.0_0 and I did an upgrade to 1.8.2_0
that failed. At the same time i was trying to upgrade xrender from
0.9.0_2 to 0.9.0_3. I got the error Ryan mentioned above. By
switching from render to xorg-renderproto, the rest of the upgrade
went fine.
