Because Wx is a GUI element it needs a $DISPLAY variable to be set even 
during port compilation. If you're running this as a root on your 
GUI-enabled workstation set $IDSPLAY and $XAUTHORITY to point to the 
your own account. For tcsh:

setenv  XAUTHORITY      /home/therek/.Xauthority
setenv  DISPLAY         :0.0

This is useful to be able to run graphical applications from root 
account after doing su.

You might try compiling Padre through sudo, this should leave $DISPLAY 
set properly.

If you're compiling on headless, GUI-less station try setting $DISPLAY 
variable.

Out of curosity. Could you mail me an output of following command?
cd /usr/ports/editors/p5-Padre && make -n configure
