Comment(by mta@…):

 As I said in my original note, the things changed in
 system_x11.extra.patch (including xeyes) are just things I added a
 system_x11 variant to for no good reason.  If you think that's a mistake
 that's ok with me.  The ports in system_x11.appdefault.patch did add stuff
 to app-defaults.

 If you don't want to add a system_x11 variant to these ports, then you
 should remove them as dependents for other ports.  Right now it's
 impossible to install things like gnome-desktop, nautilus, evince, and
 perhaps others since they all depend on xorg which depends on xorg-apps
 which depends on all of these programs.  As it is, you can't install
 something like gnome-desktop if you've installed the X11 libraries with
 the system_x11 variant.
