No, the .la files are not preserved by portupgrade.  The only files
that should reference this are those that are yet to be upgraded, but
apparently you have others that should have gone away when the ports
were rebuilt.

It doesn't make any sense: a NOP patch cannot solve a problem :) The
only solution is if it's not actually a NOP because X11BASE !=
LOCALBASE for you, or something else changed in the meantime.

Are you running on an older (<6.2) system?  Do you have X11R6 set in
your /etc/make.conf?
