The problem is with your xorg-lib* libs.  Cairo is finding all of them  
in /mp, so it's expecting -lXrender to be in /mp as well.  Mixing libs  
between x11prefix and prefix actually causes problems (see #17558).   
I'd recommend one of two courses:

1) uninstall xorg-lib* and set the +system_x11 variant, so they are  
just stubs when we switch to port:* dependencies

or

2) Just install xorg-libs to make sure you have all the X11 libraries  
in /mp.

You should probably go through and rebuild everything that depends on  
X11 to make sure you have consistent linking
