Well, this didn't help to the full extent, I got past the error but then
got another one:
Making all in Xext
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC ...  -c xvmc.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/xvmc.o
xvmc.c: In function `ProcXvMCGetDRInfo':
xvmc.c:574: error: syntax error before "rep"
xvmc.c:583: error: syntax error before '*' token
xvmc.c:584: error: `xvmcGetDRInfoReq' undeclared (first use in this
function)

Apparently this also because of the conflicting header files:
$ pkg_which /usr/local/include/X11/extensions/XvMCproto.h
videoproto-2.2.2 xextensions-1.0.1_3

Doing forceful portupgrade of videoproto now.

Any could explain/help, please ?
