The app-defaults is easy to fix:
setenv XFILESEARCHPATH /usr/local/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N:\
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/%N
I'm sure you could even compile that into the X distribution
if wanted.
Otherwise what more needs to be done? xmkmf would need to
be configured/cloned to allow one to use Imakefiles.
I can't see any other reasons to not seperate the core X11
distribution from the rest of the packages.
