pkg_info -r cairo\* shows that cairo needs libdrm.

Depends on:

Dependency: libdrm-2.4.9

If anyone has a has a test system, where they could try my scenario,
i.e., deleting all installed packages and trying to install xorg, I
think you'll find it.
I have two identical systems that I have mobile racks in, allowing me to
swap out the hard drives. So I have 4 sets of drives, Lightning, Daemon,
FreakinBSD, and Gandalf. I saw this issue with Daemon. I need to
update FreakinBSD and Gandalf, so I'll try this again and get it in a
log file.
libdrm doesn't build without cairo.h in /usr/local/include, but it won't
be there until you're built cairo, which depends on libdrm.
