Sure, just uninstall the xorg metaport, the xorg-drivers
metaport, and any of 
the driver ports you listed that you're not interested in.
You can use 
pkg_delete or similar.

To actually _prevent_ the packages from being installed, you
should avoid 
installing either metaport above or anything that depends on
them.

If you felt so inspired, you could make your own
xorg-drivers-custom metaport, 
have it depend on only the drivers you're interested in,
mark it as 
conflicting with the vanilla xorg-drivers port, and use it
as a replacement. 
You'd probably have to run pkgdb -F a lot (if you use
portupgrade) or take 
other provisions to repair the dependencies, but it could be
done.

On the whole though, what are you trying to gain? X.org and
XFree86 on FreeBSD 
have always defaulted to installing all of the available
drivers. It's just 
more visible now that each one has its own port in the post
Xorg-7.0 world.

Edit /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xorg-drivers/Makefile and remove
those that
you don't need from RUN_DEPENDS.

honestly tho, it *does* seem like there should be a
configuration where you 
can choose as many or as few of the available ones as you
need. if they were 
going to go to the trouble of making each one a seperare
entity, it just 
seems logical that the meta would include some knobs.

As I understand it, the intent was to avoid
over-complicating 7.2 -
the options will come later

I asked this some time ago on the X11 mailing list:
http://doc
s.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?f2v3qg$vfl$1

The answer was that this will be changed in the future.

Jona
