 IMHO, it's more a problem with an X library than with an X server: the X
 server can be on a remote machine (which is not necessarily a Mac OS X
 machine), and I don't see how a remote machine can affect the build of a
 MacPorts port. Now, if we do not control the X server, perhaps we can
 control the libraries, e.g. how about all those xorg* ports?
