There was a problem several months back that caused this if you 
upgraded the XFree86 ports.  I beleive the problem is that certain 
files were contained in the package lists for multiple ports and/or 
that Xft was broken out into a seperate port.  You can probably find 
more (accurate)  details searching the ports@ archives.

The problem, as I recall, was basically that portupgrade would remove 
files (they were in the old pkg-plist) and never reinstall them (they 
weren't in the new pkg-plist).  The easiest solution is to  'make 
deinstall ; make reinstall' in the Xft port.
