The default location in /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth should still work with the
symlink in place.
However, I had a similar problem to yours. Having tracked 7.2 for some time,
I had "X11BASE=${LOCALBASE}" in /etc/make.conf. When building sshd,
LOCALBASE is not defined and X11BASE ends up being the empty string. This
then caused XAUTH_PATH to be set to /bin/xauth which, of course, does not
exist. Removing the statement from /etc/make.conf fixed this -- it isn't
required anymore.
Cheers.
