I finally got around to poking at this issue some more. After examining
the work.log, I found that the problem was due to the inclusion of the
system-provided libXevie.

Adding '.include "../../x11/libXevie/buildlinks.mk' to the Makefile for
devel/at-spi2-core resolved the issue for me. So it looks like the
solution would be to either (conditionally) include that line, or
adding --disable-xevie to CONFIGURE_ARGS. Both of these work; the latter
seems cleaner, but presumably loses some functionality.
