The first version is better (lib:), because then one can use
a system version of X11 (such as Apple's X11.app) instead of
having to install either of the "XFree86" or "xorg*" ports...
Currently GCC and X11 are on the list of exceptions where
using the system versions is generally recommended over
building a new version from ports (unless somehow needed)
