I think it's a build issue rather than a runtime issue. I'd want
to be able to set something in bsd.ports.mk, which itself would
probably look in /etc/sysconfig, that specified where local X
programs lived, e.g. /usr/local/X11. I don't think this is currently
easy (or at all possible) because of what gets picked up running
xmkmf.
