Comment(by mcalhoun at macports.org):

 All I have to go on is the documentation
 (http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#WhyisMacPortsusingitsownlibraries), but
 the rule seems to be:[[BR]]
 use MacPorts libraries unless there is a good reason not to.[[BR]]
 An exempt port might be, e.g., Kerberos (#14775).

 X11 seems to be somewhere in the middle.[[BR]]
 Of the ports which depend on xrender, only two (gtk2 and teg) use
 'lib:libXrender:xrender'. [[BR]]
 The rest use 'port:xrender'.

 As for the lack of xmkmf, I ran into the same problem when I tried to
 install Xaw3d.[[BR]]
 I wrote an imake package, but I have not submitted it yet.
