Thank you! Problem solved.
The 'funny thing' was:
a. This system is not an upgrade. It was a fresh install of 6.2.
b. When I did the initial make on webalizer, I foolishly checked the X11 boxes in
the config screen.
c. However, the make mechanism apparently didn't properly pick up the dependency
like it usually does.
d. When I got the errors, I tried to re-do the config, and just could not find any
way at all to unring that bell. Make config did not work, as config was not
a target. I even make a clean, empty ports tree and tried to make webalizer
there hoping for another shot at the config screen, but it never appeared,
and I got the same error. This leads to the question of where in the maze
of twisty little passageways, all the same, did the make mechanism
hide the X11 requirement????

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
