Metacity should not really need libx11.la to build. What likely happened is 
that a dependency of metacity picked up libx11.la when it was present in your 
filesystem (perhaps installed due to a bug in a xfree/xorg package or because 
you yourself have experimented with the single libX* ports at one time). 
Libtool generates dependencies on libtool-archives (.la files) if it finds 
them, and things break if they're subsequently removed.

You need to find out what port exactly introduces the dependency on libx11.la 
and recompile it. Most likely the dependency is recorded in a .la file itself 
- try find /usr/local/ -name \*.la | xargs grep libx11.la and find /usr/X11R6 
-name \*.la | xargs grep libx11.la and see if anything turns up.
