I have been having a different but related problem.  I am rebuilding KDE and 
every package stops until I manually intervene.  Here is an example:

/bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++  -Wnon-virtual-dtor 
-Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -DNDEBUG 
-DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -DGLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY -I/usr/pkg/include 
-I/usr/X11R6/include -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common 
-DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT 
-DQT_NO_TRANSLATION   -L/usr/pkg/qt3/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/qt3/lib

The fix is to symlink /usr/pkg/lib/libfontconfig.la 
to /usr/obj/games/kdegames3/work.i386/.buildlink/lib/libfontconfig.la 
(substitute your own directories where things are kept) and continue the 
build.  I checked the buildlink2.mk file in .../fonts/fontconfig/ and it has 
this line:

BUILDLINK_FILES.fontconfig+=    lib/libfontconfig.*

Seems like it should work assuming that wildcards work in this context.  I 
can't figure out why this doesn't work.
