The directory `port dir fontconfig` should include a symlink called  
"work" which links to the location in the build directory you  
mentioned. Unless you turned off that option. (I forget where that  
option is.) Or unless you clean the work area i.e. with "port clean -- 
work fontconfig". But in any case you found the directory.

X11 and Xcode are two different things. X11 is Apple's version of the  
XFree86 X window system. Xcode is Apple's development environment  
including Apple's version of the gcc compiler. The latter is required  
for most ports, and apparently missing on your system.

Not sure why Xcode (or specifically the gcc compiler) would be absent  
now if you used to have it. But hopefully reinstalling Xcode (2.4.1  
or 2.5) will bring it back.
