That's because the rxvt cygport file has this:

src_prep_init_hook() {
         cd ${SRC_DIR}
         apply_patch ${origsrcdir}/${PN}-import-xpm.patch
}

But the official cygport has not yet integrated my patches that enable 
this bit of magic to work.  You need a modified cygport...this is true 
of a lot of my packages, unfortunately.  I needed facilities that were 
not present in cygport, so I added 'em and posted my cygport patches (7 
or 8 of them, at last count) to the mailing list. However, Yaakov is 
quite busy at the moment 
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-talk/2006-q4/msg00159.html) so rather than 
delay my packages until the cygport changes were integrated, I released 
them anyway.

But you can't build them without the update cygport.  This particular 
.cygport requires the patch posted here:

patch #1
