Looks like xmlTextReaderRelaxNGValidate is provided by
/usr/local/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlreader.h

As an analogy, I seem to recall having trouble in the past
with the freetype2/freetype nested directories & #include
statements that never seemed to pick up the subtleties
& my solution at the time was to:
# ln -s /usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype /usr/local/include/freetype

This probably caused an orphan in Mumbai to experience an
existential dread they still don't understand, but I'll be danged
if it didn't work.

Otherwise, you can blindly run
# portmaster -r libxml2
(or some perverted equivalent thereof)
& pray.  It'll probably run for a good while.
% pkg info -r libxml2 | wc -l
148
(that's including the "libxml2-2.7.8_5 is required by: " line though)
