The patch file(s) above solve the problem (and patch also some other problems), but...
xfig complains now that it cannot find the app-defaults anymore. I try to fix the Portfile with something like this
post-destroot {
file mkdir ${destroot}${prefix}/usr/X11R6/lib/X11
file move ...
file delete ${destroot}/usr/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults
}
but the first command (file mkdir) does not work. Any ideas?

You could use
xinstall -d ${destroot}${prefix}/usr/X11R6/lib/X11
instead of mkdir.

Has this issue been resolved? It is not clear to me how to apply the patch in the attachment. Is it possible for macosforge to host all the files including the patches in one location, and then modify the portfile to source the files from that location? Xfig is not going to have any newer versions, so there won't be any need to update these files.
