You don't install libXrender on your own, you install
XFree86-4-libraries which provides it.  That's why it talks about
conflicts when you try to install the separate port.  If Xft can't find
your Xrender, then you've probably broken something with your
XFree86-4-libraries install and should reinstall it.
