This is something of a run-on sentence, and it does not make it
clear what *exactly* you did.
In my case, I first cvsup'ed my /usr/src tree, and did a buildworld
and installworld to make sure I had the latest fixes to gcc.
I then did a /usr/local/sbin/pkg_deinstall for imake and
all pieces of XFree86-4. I do not have anything else X-ish (such
as Gnome or KDE), so at that point I should have had an empty
/usr/X11R6 directory. I did not, so I removed everything that
was left over in that directory.
I then cvsup'ed my entire ports collection, to make sure I had
the latest snapshot of all the ports. In fact, in my case I first
*removed* all of the files from /usr/ports/devel/imake and
/usr/ports/x*/XFree84-4*, but I only had to do that because I
had a lot of left-over patch files around from my earlier attempts
to get X installed. And then I cvsup'ed the ports collection.
I installed the perl port. I then did the command
use.perl port
which gets the system so it will consistently use the version of
perl which I had just installed.
I then installed imake-4.
I then installed XFree86-4.
In my case (a week or so ago), I ran into a problem were Wraphelp.c
did not end up where it needed to be. That problem may be fixed by
now, but at the time I just copied that file to where it needed to
be, finished building and installing that port, and then went back
to installing XFree86-4 (the "meta-port").
Other than the problem with Wraphelp.c, everything compiled OK and
seems to be working OK.
I know it is frustrating when you keep trying to build this and it
keeps failing, certainly I was frustrated when I could not build it
for a few weeks. But I do think that the XFree86-4 ports are now
working correctly, even on -current.

This program ("/usr/X11R6/bin/ucs2any.pl") should have been installed
by the port XFree86-clients-4.2.0_2
