Are you compiling XFree from sources? What I do is tar up my old /usr/X11R6 directory. Compile and install XFree over the top. That way if the new version is "hosed" somehow, I can get my old setup back. The only problem I've found is sometime old includes and so forth are left behind. For example Xft is currently broken in the CVS AFAIK, and I've had to mv/rm the Xft includes to keep it from being detected in configure scripts. I suppose you could delete the actual XFree includes and lib directories before the install, but then required libraries would be gone too, possibly.
