This actually applies to ALL ports if you maintain an older system. I've found that you can avoid many headaches if you reinstall every port dependancy when dealing with window managers. It seems to me that we need better version control in the dependancy tree. Just because a /var/db/pkg/portname says it is installed doesn't necessarily mean the correct version is really there. Find the dependent libraries and api's in /usr/ports (graphics and x11), make deinstall and make reinstall those suckers if you have any problems. I even went so far as to reinstall dependencies of those such as libtool and gettext just to get a few of these libraries to compile correctly. This is on a cvsup'ed 3.3-R/ports machine and I've seen problems like this for a long time. If there is some utility to help avoid these situations I've not yet run across it.
