Looking again, I think I see another problem ...

Notice above "xorg-libs-6.9.0nb10" found. That is not modular X.org.

In your mk.conf set:

X11_TYPE=modular

And also do a "bmake clean-depends clean".

X11_TYPE defaults to "xorg" on DragonFly.

Probably there should be some good error message when you attempt to 
mix-and-match old monolithic Xorg with newer modular Xorg. Or maybe the 
builtin.mk or buildlink3.mk files should be setup to not allow old, 
not-good-enough, dependencies to be used.
