Can you try to install fontconfig and Xft before? There is some problem
with autoconf wanting to recreate the Makefiles, but I don't really know
why esp. since we don't have overriden those ports. Of course if you can
solve this problem, it would make live easier :) I just don't want to
spend that time, since the problem only exists if the ports are build as
part of the dependency installation of another port.
