You are trying to install a separate port of libXinerama library, which is 
already provided by XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_7 that you have installed. On the 
other hand, you've managed to install libXext-6.4.3 which should fail, since 
it conflicts with mentioned XFree86-libraries. The separate X11 libraries 
ports are meant as a replacement for 'monolithic' XFree86-libraries and 
xorg-libraries, but are not (yet) the recommended way to get X11 libraries.
Having XFree86-libraries installed will fool libXinerama port into thinking 
that it already has it's dependencies, but since they are not the right ones, 
the configure will fail.
