It was indeed on your request. I don't at the moment have access to a
FreeBSD system (though I should have in due course - someone who is
installing a FreeBSD system has promised me an account). Therefore I am
reliant on advice from FreeBSD users on this list.

I presume that simply removing the lines
.if ${PORTOBJFORMAT} == "elf"
XLFLAGS+=-Wl,-rpath,${X11BASE}/lib
.endif
and setting XLFLAGS appropriately by hand would also be a valid workaround?

Please do. I would like it all to be as robust and portable as possible
before the proper release.
