Ports requiring X11 on Leopard

[Michael Franz]

As a follow-up... Can I replace these three configure flags
configure.cflags-append        "-I/usr/X11R6/include"
configure.cppflags-append      "-I/usr/X11R6/include"
configure.ldflags-append       "-L/usr/X11R6/lib"

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

the pkg_config_path solved some problems for me when I moved from Tiger to
Leopard, but when I try to replace cflags, cppflags and ldflags with it, the
configure fails.

checking Xm/Xm.h usability... no
checking Xm/Xm.h presence... no
checking for Xm/Xm.h... no
configure: error: "motif headers were not found -
try installing lesstif-devel."
