Pending someone who understands builtin.mk I've added a workaround
(hack) to just skip the libXfont2 buildlink3.mk inclusion on non
modular NetBSD, which allows tigervnc to build (plus updated it to the
latest version). The Makefile indicates its a hack and that someone
with builtin.mk fu is wanted for a better solution
