My guess would be that something has changed in your configuration.
Possibly something was previously doing a require for
conkeror-minor-mode.el before org is loaded which is no longer there.
You could try adding a (require 'conkeror-minor-mode) in your
customisation before org is loaded (or before org-publish is loaded).

You could also try loading a JS file by hand and then load an org file
and try to run org-publish. I suspect it will work, which would confirm
the issue is that nothing has loaded conkeror-minor-mode at the time you
try to do org-publish.
