Is this with X11_TYPE=native ? If so, it could be you are missing the changes
committed with

 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/external/mit/xorg/include/xtrans/Makefile.diff?r1=1.4&r2=1.5

(the full list of changes is in PR 51770).

If that does not work, you may also need the patch below
(still for X11_TYPE=native).
