Please try the following:

cd /usr/pkgsrc
cvs update
cd chat/xchat
make clean
make

It is important that if you update pkgsrc, you do a _complete_ update. 
Some changes in individual packages depend on changes that have been 
done some minutes before in other directories. The reason for "make 
clean" is that you start from a well-defined point.

If that all does not help, make sure that it's not your local 
modifications that introduce the bug.

If you still have problems, run "make show-var VARNAME=PATCH". It should 
be non-empty but is probably empty in your case.
