I would suspect that something is wrong with your port cvsup setup. The 
previous version was 2.1.92 (4 Apr) and the next one back was 2.1_7 (28 
Mar). Version 2.1_7 fixed a bug in fontconfig's configure script that 
was causing crashes.

If you aren't rebuilding your INDEX* files after you cvsup, you are 
using an INDEX dated 29 Mar.
