This worked the last time I rebuilt everything from scratch (December 19,2013): portmaster 3.17.3.
I have built packages that way since but didn't build Xorg so I'm not sure that everything was still working right after that.

In case it matters, I am running amd64 9-stable (now showing as 9.3-beta1).
