One would ask as to why xorg has failed to compile, and it appears no
one else here has experienced the same issue; hence the reason I
suggested a clean removal of installed ports and a vanilla compile of
it.

I've updated my ports from the cvs, and haven't experienced an xorg
compilation issue - I compile from the standard /usr/ports/x11/xorg
location, and I don't see to suffer the same issues - co-incidence or
simply being boring with the locating of things has saved me from
compilation problems?

In this case the OP just used WRKDIRPREFIX, which is the documented way
of having your port build directories outside /usr/ports. I wouldn't call
that "compile from all weird locations, with all weird settings".
