Comment (by jens-maus):

 Now that ticket #54094 is resolved and xcb-xrm compiles with the supplied
 portfile I managed to get "i3" compiled and running. The necessary changes
 were:

 1.  reactivate the libxcbcommon-x11 subport in the Portfile of
 libxcbcommon (why is the x11 subport disabled/commented out in first
 place?)
 2. install libxcbcommon-x11 with forcing activation because it conflicts
 with the standard libxcbcommon package
 3. install the new "patch-Makefile.in.diff" which will patch a slight
 problem in the Makefile.in resulting in a broken build.

 After these three steps (in addition to getting xorg-xcb-xrm compiled) I
 was able to compile+install i3 with the supplied Portfile.

 Hope the mess around libxcbcommon-x11 gets cleaned up somehow and all this
 integrated/merged into MacPorts one day.
