This is bug 18655 in MacPorts track.

I have found a work around.  I haven't tested it extensively, but so  
far it's working (I can install and run gnucash and enter data into  
various accounts).  I'm in the process of reporting this to the  
goffice folks too.

in the file foo-canvas-rect-ellipse.c  replace every instance of

#ifdef HAVE_RENDER
...
#endif

with

#ifdef HAVE_RENDER
#ifdef HAVE_X
...
#endif
#endif

There's a patch in the ticket that should do this for you, but I did  
the changes by hand and then made the patch after I'd verified things  
worked.  I haven't gone back to zero and tested the patch.
