You mentioned PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS being set to -x11 but editors/xemacs-packages doesn't implement the options framework.

$ make show-var VARNAME=USE_TOOLS

mkfontdir has been added by FONTS_DIRS.x11 as reminded by Joerg. When I look at the PLIST file, I understand that this tool generates fonts in the 3 directories listed in FONTS_DIRS.x11. Then it is needed to build the package and must be provided by either a xbase set or by pkgsrc.

I'm not an emacs user and I don't know the architecture of package tree for this editor. But I don't understand why you try to build editors/xemacs-packages on a sans-X11 machine while there is editors/emacs-packages. Maybe we could move FONTS_DIRS.x11 of editors/xemacs-packages from Makefile to options.mk but I'm not sure if it is relevant since I can read that XEmacs is an editor for X Window systems.
