The xrender port is the one that supplies libXrender, so I'd say if you
don't have one in /usr/X11R6/lib then you'll need the port.  Though oddly I
notice there's no reference to /usr/X11R6/lib in that compile line at all,
which means it may not see one there even if you do have it.  Since things
have been in flux, perhaps something became attached to the one in
${prefix}/lib so it isn't looking in /usr/X11R6 at all now?
