 * do i get phk_malloc when i compile whole X from the /usr/ports collection?

Depends on your imake config file (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/FreeBSD.cf).
If it's updated correctly, it should say something like:

===
#ifndef OSMajorVersion
#define OSMajorVersion 2
#endif
#ifndef OSMinorVersion
#define OSMinorVersion 2
#endif
===

which would in turn turn off gnumalloc a few lines below:

===
/* 2.2 doesn't really have GnuMalloc */
#if OSMajorVersion < 2 || (OSMajorVersion == 2 && OSMinorVersion < 2)
#define UseGnuMalloc		YES
#else
#define UseGnuMalloc		NO
#endif
#endif
===

However, the gnumalloc shared library on 2.2 and -current systems is
just a skeleton only, so unless your X server is compiled static, it
shouldn't make any difference whether it's linked with -lgnumalloc or
not.
