It would be nice if you could attach the abovementioned config.log. FWIW I 
wonder why you didn't report that error plus requested information to 
gnome at freebsd.org as suggested. No point in doing so now anymore however.

I've tried to reproduce this in a clean jail running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 with 
current ports (cvsup'd today) and building the XFree86-4 port worked fine all 
the way as expected so I'm still not sure what's going wrong for you. Maybe 
the config.log will help shed some light on the issue.
