Someone else can give you a more authoritative answer, but if you wish you can try the following:
Do
port installed X*

This will give you a list of the "X" programs you installed. At least some of these will look like this:
xorg-libX11 @1.2_0+system_x11 (active)

See the "+system_x11" tag? For each port (program) with a "+system_x11" tag do this:
sudo port -d deactivate xprogram+system_x11
where xprogram  equals the name of the program.
then reinstall each of the programs leaving off the "+system_x11" tag, for example
sudo port -d install xorg-libX11

good luck
