You have: libxml2-2.9.13

I think problem in invalid output from /usr/local/bin/xml2-config
May be your system contains files from previous version of libxml2
(before 2.9.13).
libxml2 package contain files which use for building libxslt (they are
sh-scripts):
/usr/local/bin/xml2-config
/usr/local/lib/xml2Conf.sh (not used by libxslt, but check it)

- Check please output from xml2-config --libs
It must not contain libxml2.a
- Check libxml2 package checksums:
pkg check -s libxml2

By method of excluding:
If those files is last and returns correct output(without libxml2.a) -
the problem in libxslt.

Problem can be in configure-file (make -C /usr/ports/textproc/libxslt
extract)
 ${PORTS_DIR}/textproc/libxslt/work/libxslt-xxx/configure: $XML_CONFIG
--libs
Variable LIBXML_LIBS must not contain /usr/local/lib/libxml2.a
