Because libxslt can't install until libxml2 is upgraded. Running 
'portupgrade -a' will ensure that all your ports are up-to-date. At the 
very least, 'portupgrade libxml2' should fix your libxslt build problem.

Try this:

# cd /usr/ports
# make fetchindex
# portupgrade portupgrade

The new version of portupgrade fetches INDEX, which takes 5 seconds, 
instead of rebuilding it, which takes around 8 years.
