I had the same problem a few months back. It turned out to be a problem with
the installation of XCB. Even after upgrading it, it still bombed out. I did
not need to use xcb in what I was to do so I disabled it in the cairo port.

server# cd /usr/ports/graphics/cairo
server# make config

de-select the XCB option

cd back to your nfsen port. Do not forget to make clean. Then you can start
your make install clean again.

Please note that I did not need to use xcb. weigh your options and see if
you need it.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
