Hm, this shouldn't be in Makefile, this is a line from Imakefile. Could you 
send a bit more of this error.

Imake should be the same version as other XFree86-4-* ports. If it's older, 
try to upgrade it and see how it goes with -fontScalable. I don't remember 
the error message of building fonts with old imake, but it would indeed fail.
