Wait; so you've got XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 installed but have no
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a?  I guess that might be caused by old
freetype or fontconfig packages (they are currently at
freetype2-2.1.4_1 and fontconfig-2.2.90_3), but I would have expected
the XFree86-libraries build to have failed instead of not producing
libXfont.  Try running "portupgrade -vf XFree86-libraries freetype2
fontconfig", then see if upgrading any of the dependant ports build.
