You might try putting CPUTYPE=ev56 in /etc/make.conf -- gcc tends to generate less buggy code when it can use the byte/word instructions that appeared with the ev56. I built a package (with CPUTYPE=ev56) for XFree86 and left it at http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin/XFree86-4.1.0_4.tgz quite a while ago.
