xorg-libX11 is the port that should be providing the library it can't find; does the file /opt/local/lib/libX11.dylib exist?

[jmr@…]

It's definitely missing a dependency on xorg-libX11, but it's also apparently not using the LDFLAGS given in the configure environment.

Replying to blb@…:

It sure does:
