The problem here is that you still have a library from Apple X11 in
addition to your XFree86 installation, and that's confusing
system-xfree86.  Look for /usr/lib/libXplugin.1.dylib and delete
it--this library is only used by Apple X11.

Run

sudo ranlib /sw/lib/libintl.a

(as the message implies, but doesn't say straight out).
