"rm -f /opt/local/lib/*.la" is my recommendation... short of that  
'grep '/usr/X11' /opt/local/lib/*.la

'otool -L' and 'grep /usr/X11' should do it... same as the  
install_name_tool does...

They're not going back to port:X.  They're going to port:X.  They  
haven't been at port:X before.

As is, there shouldn't be any port: dependencies for the X11 libraries  
except from other X11 libraries.

As mentioned, it needs to be done all at once and affected ports need  
to be revision bumped (is there a tool to automatically revision bump  
a file?  If not, manually setting the revision will probably be the  
bottleneck).

The only issue with it that I'm aware of is with ice-cpp conflicting  
with xorg-libice on case-insensitive file systems.
