It's more fun to post solutions that questions. :) This is all on a
3.1-STABLE system.
I was having this problem where libXpm would not build from the port. Well
after screwing around with stuff I finally figured out what was going
wrong. It seems the port was building the library ok, but when it came
time to build sxpm, it required a link to libXpm which had to be ALLREADY
installed.
So what I did was that I manually went into the /lib build directory, and
did a make install. Then went back to the installation of the port and did
a make, and everything went smoothly. I think this is a problem with the
port...where it's using as libXpm the library installed in /usr/X11R6/lib,
when it should be using the one in the work directory of the make.
Anyway, hope this helps someone out. :)
