I think something is messed up in your ports tree.  There was a circular
dependency in Xft and XFree86-clients that was fixed a few weeks ago. 
Make sure you have the latest Xft port (2.1_7).

No it doesn't.  Look at the port.  It only LIB_DEPENDS on freetype2 and
expat.  Neither of which require gtk12.  Here is the make
package-depends from fontconfig:

freetype2-2.1.4:print/freetype2
expat-1.95.6_1:textproc/expat2
pkgconfig-0.15.0:devel/pkgconfig

Doesn't look circular to me.

No it doesn't.  I think you're running into the fixed Xft loop.  Please
cvsup your ports tree again, and let me know if the problem persists.
