I do not see any open tickets about xorg-libXext and it builds fine  
for me.

What you showed above is not the first error because there were more  
than 30 lines of error. You can use debug mode to show the full error.

But as with the issue you encountered with ffmpeg, I believe this is  
because you have ports that were originally installed with Leopard  
(specifically with build_arch i386) and are now trying to install new  
ports with Snow Leopard (specifically with build_arch x86_64). You  
need to uninstall all ports and reinstall them.
