Did you have the chance to try to compile it using
"only ports" infrastructure? E. g. making sure the
ports tree is up to date, and then

	# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/windowmaker/
	# make install

to start with a clean (!) build? Just to be sure, you
could remove any possibly "offending" distfiles/ archives
and work/ subtrees.

If this has worked, you can run the portmaster checks
again, but if I understood you correctly, getting WindowMaker
(not sure about the current correct spelling!) installed
and running is your top priority.
