Hi Niclas,

Indeed, I should have looked closer: the deleted *proto ports all had their
LICENSE set to MIT, except x11-fonts/fontcacheproto and x11/trapproto. The
former had its LICENSE set to BSD2CLAUSE and the latter had its LICENSE unset.
Fortunately, the file COPYING-trapproto looks like a Carnegie Mellon University
(CMU) variant of MIT.

Moreover, COPYING-panoramixproto "is a stub file":

Although the license included as a header of panoramiXproto.h looks like a
variant of MIT, I can not guarantee that other files (if any) provided by this
package are licensed under MIT.

So, here is a second draft:

• Add LICENSE= MIT BSD2CLAUSE and LICENSE_COMB= multi
• Replace xorg with X.org in COMMENT 
• Replace a space with a tab in CONFIGURE_ARGS
