Correct. Dependent libraries are build and installed too, see below.

I could be wrong but shouldn't this be done as root?

Regarding libXmu: this library is a dependency of windowmaker so when 
windowmaker is build and installed via ports, libXmu will be build and 
installed also (if it doesn't exist on your system yet). Nice site to 
check on things like this is www.freshports.org.
