This is due to an oversight in the Imakefile.
The following procedure works for me:

sh> ncftpget ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/pub/freeciv/stable/OLD/freeciv-1.5.4.tar.bz2
sh> bunzip2 -c freeciv-1.5.4.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
sh> cd freeciv
sh> xmkmf -a  # unnecessary
sh> make XPM_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/X11R6/include/X11 XPM_LIB_DIR=-L/usr/X11R6/lib
# note the -L
make: don't know how to make civclient.man. Stop
# this is harmless, we've never had any manpages :(
