It looks as if you've really answered your own question.

Two Japanese ports are runtime dependencies for tkscanfax:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[kadmin at archangel][/usr/ports]
# make search name=tkscanfax
Port:   tkscanfax-1.02
Path:   /usr/ports/comms/tkscanfax
Info:   Tcl/Tk frontend for fax scan/receive/send program (command is tkfax)
Maint:  mita at FreeBSD.org
B-deps:
R-deps: XFree86-libraries-4.4.0_1 expat-1.95.8 fontconfig-2.2.3,1 
freetype2-2.1.7_3
imake-4.4.0 ja-tcl-8.0.5_1 ja-tk-8.0.5_2 perl-5.8.5 pkgconfig-0.15.0_1


And your setup violates this clause:

INDEX builds are not supported with partial or out-of-date ports collections -- in
particular, if you are using cvsup, you must cvsup the "ports-all"
collection, and have no "refuse" files.


You can draw your own conclusions.  I guess a couple of good questions
might be 1] when did I install "tkscanfax"? and 2] at that time, was there
a runtime dependency on these japanese ports, or was it added later?
