I upgraded from 6.7.0 to 6.8.1 and also got obscure (but different)
error messages.  The 5.3 packages on FreeBSD's FTP servers are 6.7.0.
After looking a bit and not really finding a solution to my problem, I
just downloaded the binary packages and downgraded back to 6.7.0.
(This is probably a lot easier than compiling, since you'd probably
have to use portdowngrade on a lot of ports, or do it manually, or
some such.)

Newer isn't always better... and it *is* X.  It's been the same X11R6
for years. ;)
