This turned out to be a more fundamental problem, so I thought I would
document my mistake for the archives.

The short version is I left off the X11 header files.

When I installed the XFree86 4.0.2 binary distribution, either I answered
the question asking to install the X11 header files wrong (No), or it did
not ask.  The Tk-8.[23].x ports include a version of Xlib.h, but make does
not seem to use it. I discovered that mistake and extracted Xprog.tgz ==>
/usr/X11R6/include.  After doing this, it still did not work until I
rebooted. I do not know if a rehash (I use tcsh) would have worked but as
I was doing all this while running twm, that too was possibly a problem.
