I'd like to report a similar problem with the linux_base system. My box has been recompiling linux_base-rh-7.3 for 12 hours now! :-)
The three strikes method sounds like a good temporary fix to the problem. Please let us know when you get it posted!

To keep everyone informed, here is how portmanager's looping problem with XFree86 is going to be handled:
portmanager version 0.2.4_1
Adding "three strikes checking". When "make" is run on a port
it gets 1 strike, if it's made a second time it gets 2 strikes and a warning will be printed, if it tries to build a 3rd time it gets marked as ignore and no more attempts will be made to build it. At the end
of a portmanager -u run every port that was ignored and why it was ignored is listed. This change doesn't solve the problem, but makes it managable and I will have it posted before the day is over.
portmanager version 0.2.5
When a port has a second strike placed against it, instead of getting
its dependencies from /var/db/{portname}/+CONTENTS (which is very fast)
the port's dependencies will be retrieved by running "make all-depends-list" in the port's directory (horribly slow) . I expect this to be a clean fix for the looping problem but may take a few days
for codeing and testing before I can release this version.

ps. Comments or other suggestions will be highly appreciated.
