Well, yes and no.

You got it right, I had some funny business, and a bad link to 
libXaw.so.8, so I went into /usr/X11R6/lib and fixed it up, then 
reinit'ed ldconfig, and checked it with ldconfig -r, it's all right now. 
  There IS a libXaw.a.  Unfortunately, you don't get a prize for being 
right, because after that, I cleaned it up to start from scratch, and 
the EXACT same error pops up.

Well that's fascinating, any notion where you got that info?

As an experiment, I will go ahead and use the /usr/ports/x11/libXaw port 
to reinstall libXaw again.
