Thanks.  One more thing I spotted is that it doesn't handle
non-default X11BASE or LOCALBASE.  Probably the way to do this is to
use

PORTSDIR?=/usr/ports
X11BASE=`make -f ${PORTSDIR}/Mk/bsd.port.mk -V X11BASE`

or similar.  Using bsd.port.mk is so it picks up the default value,
and includes /etc/make.conf to check for override.  It also DTRT if
X11BASE is set in the environment.
