I put my money on Xorg drivers causing the problems, so you can either upgrade and then remove it with the possibility they won't remove or the system won't boot again, or do it from b106 and then upgrade so it doesn't passively ignore the fact the package doesn't support the Xorg shipped in B107+ at this time. Check the pkg manpage if you're lost, or query me again via this list if you really can't figure it out.
