OK, this is strange, I was testing it again, so I removed all the packages and
started building them from scratch:

Building x11/Xfixes does not automatically build x11/fixesext, which I think is
an error. And as expected x11/Xfixes then fails with

checking for fixesext >= 2.0... sh: gnome-config: not found
sh: gnome-config: not found
Package fixesext was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you
should add the directory containing `fixesext.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable No package 'fixesext' found configure: error: Library
requirements (fixesext >= 2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so
pkg-config can find them. *** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /opt/pkgsrc/x11/Xfixes

I had to install x11/fixesext manually to correct this problem.
Maybe something is getting messed up in the Makefiles?
