Well I fixed the above error by editing Makefile, I'll try your patch next time I build xorg-sever.
At the moment I'm stuck on the following error

bmake: don't know how to make /opt/pkg.obj/x11/xorg-server/work.e450/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/libxf86_os.a. Stop

bmake: stopped in /opt/pkg.obj/x11/xorg-server/work.e450/xc/programs/Xserver
*** Error code 2

Any hints on what libxf86_os is?
