This might be the reason why pkgsrc installs everything by default into
/usr/pkg instead of enforcing a distinction between X and non-X.
Because as there are obviously at least 120 ports supporting X and
non-X builds in some way, this is certainly worth some consideration.

Does is actually work flawlessly to set X11BASE = ${LOCALBASE} ?
Haven't tried that yet.
