The open-motif port used to spam this file with its own version, which would then be removed when the port was deinstalled. I think this is now fixed, which could explain why it is no longer present on your system. This kind of "trespassing" by packages is difficult to recover from automatically (i.e. there's no way to indicate that the usual dependency ordering should be violated and XFree86-libraries should be reinstalled *after* open-motif (which depends on XFree86-libraries)). The solution is to reinstall by hand the package that had its files stomped on. Developing smarter tools to make sure that packages do not stomp existing registered files would also be a benefit.
