Upgraded from 1.5.3 to 1.6 by untarring sets. And then used my update_etc script to merge /etc files. (I had backed up my /etc to /etc.old.) The users group changed from GID 1000 to 100 (and I'll need to fix later).

wm/bbkeys package wouldn't build because of missing x11-links package symlink for X11/Xarch.h. I manually made it and it built. I was told "You need to reinstall x11-links from pkgsrc after you change XFree86 releases."

vnc using xdm broke. I had to edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess to uncomment the "*" line so any host can get a login window. (In addition to notes from 06/Aug/2002 above.) I wonder if this xdm configs should be under /etc for better saving.

For sshd, I manually copied over ssh hostkeys to new /etc/ssh directory and created sshd users. (Did named and ntpd users too.)

My xconsole has a few entries:

Sep 26 23:11:09 rainier init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console,
sleeping
Sep 26 23:13:25 rainier last message repeated 4 times
Sep 26 23:23:38 rainier last message repeated 18 times
Sep 26 23:33:50 rainier last message repeated 18 times

This means that getty is being started faster than every five seconds.
