latex-mk-1.8 and latex-mk-1.9.1 both have a problem in xfig.mk and xfig.gmk which produces .eps files from .fig files even when running in PDF mode. The result should be .pdf files instead, and it's a simple typo at the end of the xfig.mk.in.in file. Attached is a patch (to be put into ports/print/latex-mk/patches) that takes care of it.
