I had a similar problem. xterm-206_1 conflicted with xorg-clients-6.8.2_1. 
portmanager suggested removing xorg-clients after which xterm installed but 
xorg-clients wouldn't build anymore[1]. Some Googling suggested that the 
nVidia driver port (I don't know whether you're using this or not) replaced 
glx.h causing the xorg-clients to fail (unchecked) and reinstalling 
xorg-libraries would fix it. This worked for me.

I'm not sure whether you're having the same problem or not but I thought I'd 
mention this just in case.

[1] I also had this problem with 5.4-STABLE but to get around it there I 
installed a binary package to save time.
