do a simple thing. Install a naked 8.3, 9.0 or 10.0 on a fresh hard disk. Get then the ports tree and start compiling X.

I did not get a running system since at least 2007 when I did this. There was always at least one manual intervention needed.

I did this the last time in the first week of May.

Yes, I know how to fix this. Yes, I reported things like this at the beginning. After getting always the answer that it is working on my machine, I stopped reporting it.
