Hi, Xiaoqiang.

OK, thanks for confirming.

I'm not a MacPorts expert, but my understanding is that it does *not*
handle that automatically.  If you update your local ports tree and
rebuild, I think it will fail on x11/openmotif because x11/xorg-libXt
was not built as a flat-namespace shared library.  In order to build
x11/xorg-libXt as a flat-namespace shared library, you will need to
enable the flat_namespace variant for x11/xorg-libXt.  That doesn't
happen automatically.
