When I just tried again, and got that error, it was pkg 1.19.0 and
  make INSTALL_AS_USER=1 BATCH=1 NO_DEPENDS=1 install
and PREFIX, LOCALBASE and PKG_DBDIR set to paths in my home directory.

Ahh, maybe I have an idea on why I am still getting this error and you
are not:

  % ll /var/db/fontconfig
  ls: /var/db/fontconfig: No such file or directory

Does /var/db/fontconfig exist on your system? If so, that might explain
why it does not try to generate that directory, whereas it does it in my
case - and fails.
