Of course,
I am a moron. The clock is not synchronized with an NTP server. The 
clock drifting took me by surprise since this is relatively fresh
installation.
I used your quick solution with pkg_add to add xfig-3.2.5 to add the 
application.
Now xfig works perfectly. Good thing I had a problem with that unstable 
ALPHA new develop version of Xfig because now I know that I have to fix 
the clock.

Thanks Everybody
