I didn't have this issue when I built Handbrake on my MBP running the latest OSX Mavericks but did on my iMac - I suspect it's probably just a glitch but wondering if the build needs to be more forgiving given the solution.
The build broke because the /usr/X11/var directory didn't exist. And more specifically, the build needed /usr/X11/var/cache/fontconfig to exist but did not, apparently, need to write to it.
Creating the .../fontconfig directory allowed the build to succeed.

Re: Build on OSX Mavericks failed due to missing directory
The proper fix is to install (or re-install) build dependencies (in this case, XQuartz). Upgrading from previous OS X version will remove it.
