I've just noticed a similar error occured a few lines earlier:

making all in programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc...
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/hw/
xfree86/etc

Looking at the Makefile in that directory, it has:

scanpci: scanpci.o $(XF86OSSRC)/libxf86_os.a ../scanpci/libscanpci.a ../dummylib/libdummy.a
        $(RM) $@
        $(CCLINK) -o $@ $(LDOPTIONS) scanpci.o -L../os-support -lxf86_os -L../scanpci -lscanpci -L../dummylib -ldummy $(SERVEREXTRASYSLIBS) $(LDLIBS)  $(EXTRA_LOAD_FLAGS)

So I'm missing libxf86_os.a for some reason, maybe something didn't compile properly
