I was trying to see if the problem with the missing libraries was just
with the xorg-clients, but if xsetroot and twm worked, then maybe it is
just with certain software.

xorgcfg is just a tool for configuring X. It is installed at
/usr/pkg/xorg/bin/xorgcfg.

The RPATH is embedded in the program itself -- it lists the directories to
look for the libraries.

 objdump -p /usr/pkg/xorg/bin/xorgcfg | grep RPATH

 objdump -p /usr/pkg/xorg/bin/Xorg | grep RPATH

 objdump -p /usr/pkg/xorg/bin/twm | grep RPATH

 sudo objdump -p /usr/pkg/xorg/bin/xterm | grep RPATH

Maybe it is just certain tools that are missing the RPATH that should list
your /usr/pkg/xorg/lib. Maybe do the above objdump to look at RPATH of all
your /usr/pkg/xorg/bin/ executables.

(Sorry I don't have it installed myself on same system. I didn't check the
packages available on ftp server either.)
