The presence of that symlink will stop the xorg-libraries port whinging at you. There are a couple of other bits that need twiddling in the default system, and a very handy way of getting them all to happen is by running mergebase.sh. On a completely virgin newly instaleld system, with /usr/ports populated, but no ports yet installed you may need to: mkdir /usr/X11R6 to give that script something to chew on, and then just: sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh before proceeding to install whatever ports you want.
