The xkbcommon error is because XKBCONFIGROOT is coded to
${X11BASE}/lib/X11/xkb in the Makefile of libxkbcommon. 
This is the right directory for native X11 for modular it is
the wrong directory.

removing the line 
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-xkb-config-root=${X11BASE}/lib/X11/xkb

and adding 
.include "../../x11/xkeyboard-config/buildlink3.mk"

in x11/libxkbcommon/Makefile gives modular xorg the right directory.
I don't know how this works with native x11.

If you wish to silence configures complaint about not finding
xorg-macros you can add 
.include "../../devel/xorg-util-macros/buildlink3.mk"
as well.

The system compose files search directories are hardcoded in 
qtbase/src/plugins/platforminputcontexts/compose/generator/qtablegenerator.cpp
the two patches below for x11/qt5-qtbase makes this file use the
environment variable X11BASE available at configure time
concatenated with lib/X11/locale and share/X11/locale among its
hardcoded search directories. This removes the compose warning on
netbsd with modular xorg and should do this for native X11 as well. 
I don't know how it will work on other platforms though.

Happy new year to all.
