Of course there IS a libXaw.a.  It is complaining about it.  There
exists a symbol in the libXaw.a library that is using relocation
R_X86_64_32 and that is not compatible with position-independent code
(PIC).  Shared libraries must be build with all-PIC.

I'm not sure where you are getting that port.  I have no such port in my
ports directory.  Are you, perchance, using some older repository of the
ports collection?  If so, I would strongly suggest that you cvsup to a
more recent one as amd64 support in ports is not all that old.  I would
suggest you try the following and make sure that the library is coming
from only one source:

find /var/db/pkg/ -name "+CONTENTS" -print0 | xargs -0 grep libXaw\.so

Mine shows

/var/db/pkg/xorg-libraries-6.8.2/+CONTENTS:lib/libXaw.so
/var/db/pkg/xorg-libraries-6.8.2/+CONTENTS:lib/libXaw.so.6
