Sure, just uninstall the xorg metaport, the xorg-drivers metaport, and any of the driver ports you listed that you're not interested in. You can use pkg_delete or similar. To actually _prevent_ the packages from being installed, you should avoid installing either metaport above or anything that depends on them. If you felt so inspired, you could make your own xorg-drivers-custom metaport, have it depend on only the drivers you're interested in, mark it as conflicting with the vanilla xorg-drivers port, and use it as a replacement. You'd probably have to run pkgdb -F a lot (if you use portupgrade) or take other provisions to repair the dependencies, but it could be done. On the whole though, what are you trying to gain? X.org and XFree86 on FreeBSD have always defaulted to installing all of the available drivers. It's just more visible now that each one has its own port in the post Xorg-7.0 world.
