Correct. Dependent libraries are build and installed too, see below. > I still have the side-question though, which is why do I not have the > libXmu.so.* library in my file-system.

I could be wrong but shouldn't this be done as root? Regarding libXmu: this library is a dependency of windowmaker so when windowmaker is build and installed via ports, libXmu will be build and installed also (if it doesn't exist on your system yet). Nice site to check on things like this is www.freshports.org.
