All you've pointed out were right! I've made latest prune
FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT(r298951) and `make build' then there is
nothing to stop or hung up. And `make install', `make
package', `pkg delete -yf xemacs-21.4.24_6' and `pkg add
/var/ports/packages/All/xemacs-21.4.24_6.txz' are perfectly
done:-)

I'm ready to commit xepkg ports schime, and re-porting
xemacs back to FreeBSD ports tree. When everything done,
before send-pr to bugzilla of FreeBSD, I'll tell you what
about xemacs usage on FreeBSD with my xepkg ports schime. 

Thanks for your courteous reply of my messy reports.

Best Regards
