Installing /usr/ports/emulators/linux_compat seems to fix this.  I have no
idea why, but I went ahead and installed it so I could install the Nvidia
X driver.  After I did that (built and installed linux_compat and built
and installed the Nvidia driver), I went ahead and re-entered
x11/XFree86-4/ and did a make install again (mostly just looking for the
error so I could comment the lines out of the makefile), and it built and
installed (after I rebuilt and reinstalled imake-4, just on principle).
There's an odd dependency hiding in there somewhere.

Now I just have to figure out why X only believes this LCD is capable of
640x480 or 320x240 instead of the 1920x1600 it's actually capable of, so
back to -mobile I go.
