That's the idea, certainly, although not everything works perfectly all of the time. bzflag's port Makefile registers a dependency upon GL via: USE_GL= yes ...which ought to pull in graphics/mesagl as a dependency. It sounds like you were able to compile and run the program, but received the error messages quoted above when running the program. Clayton already gave you some suggestions on configuring X11 with regard to GLX support, but what you need to do really depends on details not provided, such as the video card you have.
