Yes I do have:

-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  78144 Feb 26  2008 /usr/X11R6/lib/ 
libXrender.1.2.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel     20 Sep  5 20:11 /usr/X11R6/lib/ 
libXrender.1.dylib -> libXrender.1.2.dylib
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  78684 Mar 23  2007 /usr/X11R6/lib/ 
libXrender.a
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel     20 Sep  5 20:11 /usr/X11R6/lib/ 
libXrender.dylib -> libXrender.1.2.dylib

I would not be surprised if it assumed that libXrender is in the same  
place that libX11 is. I may just have to reinstall all X-using ports,  
like Jeremy says.
