Just to make sure - you have now Xaw3d-1.5E_1 and xfig-3.2.4_2?

These don't make xfig crash, however...

I can't seem to reproduce this with either XFree86 or Xorg on i386 or amd64. I 
know however some have trouble with Xfig after Xaw3d upgrade and addition of 
patch to Xfig. There is also related PR ports/86318.
From Changelog of Xfig 3.2.5 Alpha5 one thing that could remotely be related 
is inclusion of wrong headers:

o Incorrect header files used for SmeBSB resulted in either segfault or
  none of the command panel entries being underlined

It's pretty far fetched that this could be the problem but just in case there 
is a patch to bring this change at
http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/other/xfig/patch-headers
Could you please try that (by putting it in graphics/xfig/files and 
recompiling xfig)? (I can of course send it as attachment if that is 
preferable.)

I don't think this should matter.

I've tried also with symlinks in case that would make the difference (Xfig 
links with Xaw3d so symlinks are not necessary for it to use it), but I can 
still click on things and draw with Xfig fine.

The mentioned Xfig 3.2.5 Alpha5 has incorporated support for Xaw3d 1.5E (that 
is now in ports) so I can send you a port of it if you would be interested in 
trying if problems are fixed there. If nothing else it doesn't display 
warnings about actions not found.
