Solved Port replacement with xorgproto

As I understand, in 2018 quite a lot of ports have been replaced with single one: xorgproto

What is the proper way to do the upgrade? Should I just delete all old ports, install xorgproto and hope everything will be OK?

Code:
        * x11/xorgproto (xf86vidmodeproto-2.3.1)
        * x11/xorgproto (renderproto-0.11.1)
        * x11/xorgproto (xf86bigfontproto-1.2.0)
        * x11/xorgproto (xcmiscproto-1.2.2)
        * x11/xorgproto (glproto-1.4.17)
        * x11/xorgproto (dri3proto-1.0)
        * x11/xorgproto (presentproto-1.0)
        * x11/xorgproto (xproto-7.0.31)
        * x11/xorgproto (fixesproto-5.0)
        * x11/xorgproto (printproto-1.0.5)
        * x11/xorgproto (inputproto-2.3.2)
        * x11/xorgproto (videoproto-2.3.3)
        * x11/xorgproto (randrproto-1.5.0)
        * x11/xorgproto (dri2proto-2.8)
        * x11/xorgproto (fontsproto-2.1.3,1)
        * x11/xorgproto (xextproto-7.3.0)
        * x11/xorgproto (damageproto-1.2.1)
        * x11/xorgproto (kbproto-1.0.7)

I am actually not using X11, this is text-only server. But many ports need xorgproto as a dependency.

I more meant, how would I make sure everything is still OK afterwards...

But i have been using pkg check -da and recompiled all ports, that were missing some dependency.

So i really hope I have now untangled this X mess...

xorgproto is a rather essential part of Xorg. If there was something wrong with it, you would probably notice very quickly.
By the way, you can use the command pkg info -r xorgproto to find out what packages directly depend on xorgproto (this doesn't work recursively, though).
 
Well, as I wrote, I am not using Xorg, at least not knowingly, this is a text-only home server.

And quite a bit is still broken, and I have no idea why ;)
