xcb.pc is from x11/libxcb
x11-xcb.pc is from x11/libX11
Creating that sym link is probably a bad idea.

And libGLU does depend on x11/libX11

Well, it depends on it directly now - maybe the version of the
port packaged with 7.1-RELEASE didn't depend on libX11 directly, but
had an indirect dependency.

Either way, somehow you are missing libX11.
