xfig 3.2.5_1 won't build with XFree86, builds with Apple X11

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Charles Rich reports that xfig won't activate:

$ sudo port upgrade xfig
--->  Fetching xfig
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for xfig
--->  Extracting xfig
--->  Applying patches to xfig
--->  Configuring xfig

--->  Staging xfig into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: error deleting "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_graphics_xfig/work/destroot/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults": directory not empty

He says the directory has two files: Fig and Fig-color

He was using the XFree86 port, and the problem went away when uninstalling XFree86 and using Apple's X11 instead. It would be nice if xfig would be usable with both XFree86 and Apple's X11.

Perhaps the patch in ticket #14116 would solve this problem?

I'm not sure why we should support XFree86 nowadays.
