I fixed this by adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib to the 
environment, but since I actually have a choice of

/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib

which should I actually use? For some reason even though I'm using a 
fresh portupgraded system the libraries the two locations are not the same.
