Thank you Yves (and thank you Mark Duling for the tips on how to  
debug port builds).  I think I have a slightly more elegant
solution than my earlier hack of linking the directory.  I added the  
following to the post-patch portion of the Portfile:

     reinplace "s|\$(DESTDIR\)\$(bindir)/fltk-config|../fltk-config|g" \
         ${worksrcpath}/fluid/Makefile

That change will cause the fltk-config script in the work directory  
to be used instead of the one copied to the $DESTDIR.
The one in the work directory correctly finds the resource file  
relative to itself.

Thanks again everybody for your kind help.
