portupgrade error: cannot find -lXfont

I am running 4.8-STABLE last cvs'ed Aug 8 20:38 on an IBM ThinkPad T21.
My ports tree was last cvs'ed on Nov 9 at 23:55.

The project at hand is to portupgrade all my ports.  I'm down to only 
two remaining:

	+ x11-servers/XFree86-4-FontServer (XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0)
	+ x11/XFree86-4-clients (XFree86-clients-4.3.0_1)

portupgrading either one fails with an error message reading:

/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lXfont

A fuller context of the error message appears below.

My knowledge of X is spotty at best, but since ld is reporting this, I'm 
guessing this is a library file I'm missing.  Regardless, how can I pin down
the missing link (sorry) and fix it?

Thanks!

Reinstall your XFree86-libraries package, even if you have the most
recent version (portupgrade -f will do this for you).

I hit this last week.

So did I some time ago. Reason: my system ran out of diskspace while
installing the XFree86-libraries port. Compiling and installing the
XFree86 stuff needs quite some diskspace.
I had to relink the work directory to another bigger partition, to
finish this compile successfully.

Cheers,
Rob.
