Hello,

I had problems installing Mesa the other day, as well.
I don't remember if they were the exact same as yours, but they were
similar.
I fixed them by setting the following environment variables:

  setenv  C_INCLUDE_PATH  /include:/usr/include:/usr/local/include
  setenv  LIBRARY_PATH    /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

It's been my experience that when a port can't find a header file or a
library, this is something to try.  So I put them in my .cshrc

Unfortunately it's also been my experience that having these set can
muck up buildworld, so I explicitly unset them in my buildworld script.
Not sure if this is intentional or an oversight on buildworld's part.
