I'm running -stable as of yesterday and just (also yesterday) ported xv along with
tiff and jpeg.  I managed to get all three built and installed successfully.
I retrieved the tiff, jpeg, and xv ports directories from ftp.cdrom.com, installed
them locally, went into each directory (starting with jpeg and ending with xv)
and did a "make" and "make install".  I had no problems installing any of the
ports.

Can't help you there - I used package not the port for fvwm.
