i3: xkb missing link, i3status missing

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
This is a follow-up to ticket:52596.
The default install of i3 failed for me because the folder /opt/local/share/X11/xkb was missing. I added a softlink to /opt/X11/share/X11/xkb and that worked. However, I think that folder should be populated by the port (my link is just a bandaid).
Furthermore, I noticed that the i3status utility is missing, and it would be good to add that to the default build. Might be a second “enhancement” ticket, though.

I thought that adding i3status into the i3 port itself would make sense because i3, as it is currently being built, seems to require it (and it’s a tiny 200k src file). When I finally got i3 running, it complained about a missing library in the status line
Error: status_command not found or is missing a library dependency (exit 127)
So I thought/assumed that that’s about i3status, but did not investigate the issue further.
Per your link, i3status is a separate program built from a separate download. So we could certainly add a separate i3status port to install that.
