OK, the xorg-build failure log was actually not due to libXft, it was due to the nonexistence of the /usr/X11R6 directory (due to a bug it wasn't displaying the error message pointing you to UPDATING in this case - this is now fixed in git). The fix was just to set XORG_UPGRADE, which just makes it ignore the /usr/X11R6 test (it's an anti-foot-shooting method to get people to read UPDATING instead of blindly doing portupgrade -a after their cvsup, which will trash their X installation and package database and is difficult to recover from). Once you complete those instructions your /usr/X11R6 will be a symlink and the variable will no longer need to be set.
