I would strongly suggest not mixing your linkages.  libXt.6.dylib is provided for binary compatibility only (just like how the package also provides older versions of libpng).  I suggest that if you want to build from source using libXt.7.dylib, you should try to fix the issues in openmotif which cause it to not work with libXt.7.dylib.
