I could be able to install the Lazarus by applying the following steps :

(1)
 From /var/db/ports/ directory , I removed fpc* and lazarus directories .


(2)
During install I did NOT select

  Interbase/Firebird
  MySQL
  ODBC
  Oracle
  PostgeSQL
  SQLite


(3)

I have selected :

    GTK2 widget set ( Do NOT select both GTK2 and QT4 , ONLY one of them )

    libpng
    X11
    GTK2


Lazarus has been compiled successfully and it is running ,

I am using XFCE . There is neither desktop icon nor any menu item to 
start it .
