I was trying to upgrade some stuff via portupgrade and  the build of 
XFree86-Clients failed looking for -lXfont, here's the error from make:

 cc -o bdftopcf -O -pipe -ansi -Dasm=__asm  -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wundef

-lfntstubs  -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lz -lm   -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lXfont

I cvsuped my ports tree earlier today, but this has been broken since at least 
last night. Any one know how to fix this or should I file a PR about this?

it was a hard sell, since he's a database person, and as far as I've seen, 
once those database worms eat into your brain, it's hard to ever get anything 
practical done again. To a database person, every nail looks like a thumb. Or 
something like that. - jwz
