That was my only reason, it was "easier" to use XFree86 from X11+SDK
just like it was easier to use GCC from Xcode Tools... If X11 is no
longer considered to be "outside" MacPorts, then so be it.

I think ${x11prefix} was mostly to avoid hardcoding /usr/X11R6 (or /
usr/X11), but I gather you will be replacing it with ${prefix} now ?
(It was /usr/local on FreeBSD, but that doesn't really matter)
