I've got a patch that lets me fix this, but it isn't suitable for inclusion in ports because it is a patch to the makefile which is generated automatically from the Imakefile... Bruce Mah suggested that I open a PR on this, and then notify you (all) that progress is being made on getting a package for the impending Release. I'm going to continue to work on this hoping to find the right way to do this - any help with imake or the ports system is welcome :). There also seems to be a secondary problem that xdm dumps core unless you disable XDMCPAUTH in the config file (or build) - I guess I'll open a second PR on that, since I only have a config-file setup for that that avoids the bug...
