Yeah, there's something wrong with the t1libs port.

I get kinda steamed when folks make changes in my ports without asking me,
and then expect me to maintain those non-trivial changes.  That's what
happened with xpdf ... I can't remember who added the dependency on
devel/t1libs, but when it broke (and it did) it took t1libs with it.

It's been fixed now, go get a new copy of the t1libs port, and use
that.  xpdf works just fine.

To tell you the truth, I'm to blame, I should have gone ahead and fixed
t1libs, because my being bent out of shape doesn't justify my leaving you
guys hanging, on an important port.
