No need for that.  You said 1.16.99.1_2 doesn't have the issue and 1.16.99.1_3 does, so it was introduced somewhere between 1.16.99.1_2 and 1.16.99.1_3.

That means it was something between:
git commits cff12936275db2f71f6d24f9ea0985a0d14af454 and e572bcc7f4236b7e0f23ab762f225b3bce37db59

If you are not comfortable building from a git checkout, I suggest you stay at the 1.16.99.1_3 checkout and bisect between those to git commits by editing the git.branch line of the Portfile to figure out what commit introduced the issue.

You can do something like:

git clone ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver.git
cd xserver
git bisect start
git bisect bad e572bcc7f4236b7e0f23ab762f225b3bce37db59
git bisect good cff12936275db2f71f6d24f9ea0985a0d14af454

It will then report something like this:

Bisecting: 169 revisions left to test after this (roughly 8 steps)
[35dc7c75150733dbcef8a18b6796f49a7c48ebee] Merge branch 'modesetting-import' into master

So try 35dc7c75150733dbcef8a18b6796f49a7c48ebee and then run 'git bisect good' or 'git bisect bad' as appropriate and try the next one until you've determined what commit introduced the problem.
