I used the FreeBSD fvwm2 package instead, which includes:

Support for features:
        readline: yes
        rplay: no
        stroke: no
        xpm: yes
        gnome-wm (window manager hints): no
        sm (session management): yes
        gtk (FvwmGtk): yes
        gdk-imlib (in FvwmGtk): yes
        gnome-libs (in FvwmGtk): no
        multibyte: no

And oclock works correctly.

Thanks for the help,
Steve
