FreeBSD 3.0, in ELF "mode", names all libraries with major version
number only. See http://www.de.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook40.html#79

In my version of the fvwm2 Makefile, it depends on Xpm.4:
LIB_DEPENDS=    Xpm.4:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/xpm

So, if your ports tree is up to date, it should work. Do not copy as
described above. It will not help.

Here's an ls -laF /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm*
-rw-rw-r--   1 root  wheel    76832  7 Jan 13:16 libXpm.a
lrwxrwxr-x   1 root  wheel       11  7 Jan 13:16 libXpm.so@ ->
libXpm.so.4
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    57472  7 Jan 13:16 libXpm.so.4*
