Well, libXaw is part of XFree86, but now it's at 7, not 6. So 
either: 
1) your X is newer than the package (in which case you ought to 
uninstall the emacs package and build it from the port instead) or
2) your X installation is goofed up (in which case you ought to 
reinstall X from ports).

What does "ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw*" show? If you get some 
files (not counting the ones with "3d" in their names), then you 
should do option 1 above, if not, do option 2.
