You are welcome. Most ports listed are easy to fix

1) properly define USE_XLIB with GNU_CONFIGURE
2) put --x-includes and --x-libraries (see bsd.port.mk) in
   CONFIGURE_ARGS when necessary
3) define proper CONFIGURE_ENV/CONFIGURE_ARGS/MAKE_ARGS/MAKE_ENV if
   the port's configure/Makefile support them
4) s,/usr/X11R6,${X11BASE},g as the last resort

One major problem I encountered so far is math/vtk* and
science/paraview. They all uses CMake system (devel/cmake).

I'm not quite sure what's the best way to make its makefile accepts
correct X11BASE. One possibility is to patch its FindX11 module, but
it seems to me that these ports contain their CMake/ in their
distribution, i.e., we need to patch each ports.

Any cmake experts?
