To complete the circle, I finally found these postings that describe the
problem and the solution, in case anyone else runs into this:

http://groups.google.com/group/muc.lists.freebsd.ports/browse_thread/thread/57a734d1196f30ef/2170682ff163b273?lnk=raot
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2009-August/008751.html

The likely cause was an incorrect pkg-plist file in the libtool15 port
at one time, and some files were not removed during the
libtool15->libtool22 upgrade.

Hope that helps,
Greg
