Ports requiring X11 on Leopard

Hi,

I have recently started using Leopard and have found that ports that require
X11 cannot find the necessary libraries.  This is frustrating as they worked
fine on Tiger.

I was able to solve my problems by adding

configure.pkg_config_path
${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig:${x11prefix}/lib/pkgconfig

 the Portfile .  Why is this not necessary on Tiger?  I don't remember
configuring anything special when I set up Tiger.

Also, which is better to use:
lib:libX11:XFree86  or
port:xorg-libX11 ?

Michael
