X.org (experimental) ports moving to LOCALBASE soon

Yeah, that was long overdue.

Now that most ports are X11BASE-clean, I'm going to move X.org ports to
${LOCALBASE} (as opposed to ${X11BASE}, where they live now). So expect
a commit talking about X.org PREFIX in the next few days.

Actually, I advise using git-whatchanged and git-log before you make any
upgrade of your installed ports. The prefix change should need a
PORTREVISION bump but I won't do it (cause I'm too lazy), so you'll have
to type something like "portupgrade -R xorg\*".

You've been warned!

PS: If you have unresolved issues not listed in the wiki page, please
raise your hand.
PS2: If you have plenty of time and a test machine, please try to
upgrade from 6.9 to 7.2.r3 again with the new instructions. The more you
 test, the less unexpected reports I'll get once it's merged (which
means less work for me, so that's a win-win, in the sense that I win twice).
