Can you describe "some trouble"?  Do you...

1: Have the port installed successfully?
2: Get an error when you type 'startx'?
3: Get a blank screen when you type 'startx'?
4: Get a garbled screen when you type 'startx'?
5: Have anything in /var/log/XFree86.0.log?

What video hardware are you using, and what type of display do you have? 
Was it working before you did this upgrade?  How did you upgrade?

You get the idea...  More information is needed to diagnose this.
