Currently hrs at FreeBSD.org is the port maintainer of the windowmaker port. 
After the update to windowmaker 0.95.8 earlier this year there was no 
update of the x11-wm/windowmaker port from the maintainer, so I submitted 
a patch for the port to be updated to the newer version (as I'm using 
windowmaker myself). Another port committer has committed the patch for me 
(pi at freebsd.org) after three months of no response from the maintainer.

I've not seen this error before. The port installs and runs here fine 
and the tests in poudriere here and at the ports committers side didn't 
show any errors. Don't see any strange things on your side too so I'll 
have to look into this.

As I'm not the port maintainer best thing to do for now is to file a bug 
report at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/.
