That is the way to go in my opinion.

Do you have libX11 installed anyway on your system ?

It would be clever to build VLC the same way on a system with libX11
and then verify each .so built, to see if they are not linked with
libX11.

That is to be sure autodetection will not enable something you don't
want, i.e. not enabled if libX11 was not detected, but enabled if it
was detected.
If this is the case, that would mean more --disable-xx are required.

The debian people verify each plugin (prefix/lib/vlc/**.so) when
building vlc-nox package.

Extract from debian/rules :

    # Check that we did not install a plugin linked with libX11 in vlc-nox
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE), $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE))
    BORKED=no; \
    for file in $$(find debian/vlc-nox/usr/lib/vlc -name '*.so'); do \
      if ldd $$file | grep -q libX11; then \
        BORKED=yes; \
        echo $$file depends on libX11; \
      fi; \
    done; \
    if test "$$BORKED" = yes; then exit 1; fi
endif

Ok

Of course, but I am lazy to do the patch, so you have to do the work :)
However I'm glad to help if you have trouble
