Net/pkgsrc has an X11BASE also, and like Free if you install X as distribution it goes there. They have a xpkgwedge pkg to keep X related pkgs from being installed to /usr/X11R6 though: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/pkgtools/xpkgwedge/ We can probably do the same, but there's probably a reason why "our" X people haven't done so.
