I'm surprised that the ports that require xorg are
linked to 7.2.

I'm wondering why you are setting date to:
2007.05.16.01.00.00
rather than:
2007.05.16.00.00.00

but it does seem that you have selected the correct
date.

I think I would be tempted - at least for a while, to
try my port builds as, for example,

# portinstall gimp -x xorg*
or
# portinstall -R -k gimp -x xorg*

... something like that.

If you are not familiar with portinstall, check

/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade/
